Officers at RAF Wittering fear that residents of nearby Peterborough who oppose UK involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq will taunt servicemen.
Ah right, so when did we as service personnel CHOOSE to go to Afghanistan and Iraq? :hmm:

I think a good kick in the balls with military boots would dissuade further taunting.
