The support for the US Armed forces is a lot more noticeable - they're all for supporting their troops rather than rallying to pull them out; many cars have the magnetic 'support our troops' ribbon stuck on the back. People over there are proud of their guys and girls.
As said above, if you get caught in a public place in your uniform in the UK, you get the looks and stares or just plain old abuse.#
Our country needs a good kick up the behind and a change of tune as far as the military is concerned. More funding for the mil, more support, and less New Labour please.
