Is popping wearing and remembrance fading with younger generarions?

[mids2019]

At my daughter's school teachers were heavily suggesting that they observe remembrance and it goes in with WA1 and WW2 history.

However it seems at least some think the poppy is outdated or overly political so tend not to wear poppies.

Is remembrance going to diminish with the passing of time and do young people have a point that is has misappropriated by certain factions?

It has zero to do with being ‘PC’. About 10,00 of those veterans of WWI from England, Scotland and Wales were recruited as auxiliaries and Black and Tans during the Irish war of independence in 1920, and were notorious for civilian murders, arson and reprisals.

Also, profits from poppy sales go to benefit those currently in the armed forces and living veterans. Some people aren’t so crazy about some of the things those living veterans did.

Wearing a poppy is simply about respect for the fallen- nothing more than that

Are you saying that people who do not choose to pin a probably plastic symbol of a flower to their outfit must have no respect for lives lost in the world wars?

Nope 😂

The money earned from poppy sales does not benefit the fallen?
It’s used to support British Forces veterans so it is something more.
And that’s an issue for some.
