The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

(that invokes sad memories of Vietnam soldiers being advised to change into civies before coming home, so they wouldn't get spit on, shouted at, or beaten)
*other than, of course, the appearance of security for order - not for fighting off terrorists
It is really a sad state of affairs when a serviceman cannot wear his/her uniform in their own country
