There are stories about this every year where I am convinced it is more children who want to hear their own voices moreso than put constructive thought into a discussion regarding the history of the poppy and what it means to many people, including myself. I do think that sometimes war is glamorized for being something that it isn't, however I also think that November 11th is about remembering those who did sacrifice everything and those who did come back as changed men and women.
At the end of the day I think that we should just ignore the people who make this statement rather than give them the attention that they crave.
