I think I know where you're coming from on this (and possibly have a glimmer of where you're GOING with it) - but the British military's current budget woes and resultant public spat with the Government do NOT excuse the abhorrent behaviour of the people mentioned in the article.
"Might scare the children" - in my experience with kids they are full of an honest and open curiousity about things like amputations - they tend to be FASCINATED by such things (as mentioned by a previous poster). The KIDS might embarrass the VETS - but I strongly doubt the vets will scare the children.
Edited to credit a previous poster (who I'm too lazy to look up) with the "children being curious" idea.
