I completely agree, having read the full post, but at the same time I don't necessarily entirely blame the youth.
Supposedly for the right reasons, but with some misguidedness, the "Poppy Police" mentality now abounds in a way it never used to, and has led to, for example, the BBC having to be sure to have poppies on everyone several weeks early to avoid complaints about disrespectful missing poppies (such as lack of poppies on the costumes of the dancers (but note not absent on the presenters) on Strictly last year or the one before) - yes a trivial example, but of something more widespread and important.
