I do so wish that a representative or two of this mindset would come and make my collection duty on Saturday that little bit more interesting. I can supply a Lat Long if you know of anyone who might have a ill founded grievance best directed by way of physical attack against someone in uniform.

I'm reasonably sure that the cadet supervisory care directive does not allow lone Cadets to roam the streets on their own collecting for charity. As for those that aren't a fan of the military, there is a special entrance for those folks!
The initial reports were that he was attacked whilst selling poppies.
It now appears he was attacked whilst waiting for a bus back to Burnage.
On that basis, I would retract my comments about selling poppies in the evening because waiting at a bus stop puts matters into an entirely different perspective.
It would appear he was the victim of a random attack by an individual who may well have been under some sort of influence be that drink / drugs / mental health or any combination thereof.
The fact he is a cadet, and engaged in collecting as many do at this time of year, adds an emotive implication to the attack. That said, for all we know, the attacker could just as easily attacked anybody else, he just happened to choose this poor kid.
As for people not liking the military, for many civilians the military have no part or exposure in their lives. They simply have more pressing and relevant concerns.
On the other hand, when confronted with somebody like yourself adopting an autocratic stance as how they are "traitors", then it's not surprising people would view the military in a negative light.
