[Marxism] British Service Personnel Abused By Members Of British Public
Gordon Brown has condemned reports that RAF personnel at a Cambridgeshire
base were advised not to wear uniform in public for fear of verbal abuse. He
said
armed forces members should be "encouraged to wear their uniform in public
and have the respect and gratitude of the British people".
The decision not to wear uniform was taken by the station commander at RAF
Wittering near Peterborough.
Defence minister Derek Twigg blamed "a tiny minority" for the abuse.
It has been claimed that verbal abuse has been directed at service personnel
by people opposed to UK involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq.
