Of course police action would have been different if a police officer was suffering an attack, its human nature to protect those you consider to be your own. If you saw a motorist in trouble you'd be less likely to stop and offer assistance if it wasn't a fellow taxidriver.
The advice offered by the person from Yorkshire is what we should be discussing as it possibly prevents further attacks, at least with a drunken yob from the forces returning to barracks there is someone at the other end who will be on your side if the passengers become unruly at best and violent at worst.
More attention should be made to solving problems instead of looking for someone else to blame.
It's even better when you pull into the checkpoint/ guardroom after being given problems by drunken squaddies is the RSM [regimantal Sgt Major] stood by the gate doing his rounds
If your working a lot to the barracks you can get hold of the Military Police provo unit, they usually aren't far way, if you can get hold of their telephone number, keep it in your phone, any trouble you can expect the MP patrol will be round in a quick flash
