Military jams GPS regularly when they do military exercises. There are some inconveniences and people complain, yes, but nothing life-threatening.
This has long ceased to be true. You might note that the military do not jam GPS in major civil centres and especially not near e.g. airports. (What GPS jamming goes on is people trying to fake their tachographs. This is causing increasing trouble and concern at fairly high levels.)
