Poppies

I think the reason a lot of people don't like to wear poppies around Remembrance Day is that they feel by doing so they are tacitly approving of war. Of course my hat goes off to anyone who risks their life for a worthwhile cause. A soldier, by entering any war, is just doing his or her job - it's not up to them to decide whether or not the cause is just. But it's very difficult to separate the "player" from the "game". What does it mean to be adamantly against a conflict, yet fully respectful of those fighting it? How does one express that?

Better three weeks late than never.
