I don't get the outrage against the white poppies. You attend the services and the veterans speak about the brave soldiers who fought at their sides and did not return. They speak about the horrible conditions that these men had to endure, many never to return, so this could be a free land. And they speak of hope that we never have to face such times again. It is for the former statements that I wear the red poppy and the latter for which I wear the white. Maybe I'm missing something.
