I understand your comments for and against this guys actions but ignoring the boot comments or the paid murderer sentiment, on a human level, paying your respects for the dead regardless of whether you're in the military or not is the right thing to do. Impeding traffic, not so much.
In the UK forces, it is compulsory for members in uniform wearing their headdress to stand to attention and pay compliments. It is written in multiple regulations/orders.
