It's not the peoples fault, yet our government - the fact is, they are there, where ever there maybe, so we as a nation should stand by them.

The reason for not having them wear military clothing is so that they do not get abuse (verbal or physical) from dimwits while out in public.
You and I, and thankfully most people, understand that members of the armed forces are doing a job, they aren't responsible for the decision to go to war, and therefore if we have a disagreement with the war, the last people we'd have a go at would be those serving in the armed forces.
Unfortunately, there are a few people who can't work that one out, and are willing to not only spout verbal abuse at servicemen, but also physical abuse.
Consiquenty, it is prudent of their commanding officer to protect them from such abuse, wouldn't you agree?
