That's my problem with it too. It's a song. I have very strong views about people who don't observe the two minutes silence. I will make sure it is observed on 11 November this year in the office, and I will make a big deal about it. I will wear my poppy as every year and I'll observe the two minutes silence on Rembrance Sunday as well (belts & braces approach)
But I can't equate a song - sung at sports games and in schools, in cinemas and concerts - with respect for the military. YMMV.
