in Australia were we confronted troops but were never agressive or rude to them..only ever tried to persuade then to join us, or would often talk to US servicemen on R&R and was surprised by the number that agreed with us..
Alternatively we were certainly spat on and abused..the usual 'get a job etc' and even famously when LBJ was in a motorcade with the local Premier and we spilled onto the streets to stop his car and the Premier told his driver to "run over the bastards"..was always quite proud of that and felt linked to Lyndon forever after.
