Not sure I quite catch your logic their Foolsgo1d, but each to his own.
To me, it's remembering the sacrifices given by men who were conscripted and did their duty. Take politics out of it, whether you think the wars were justified or that it was all in vain, these were men who had no choice but to go and serve. There isn't an English family around who doesn't have a member who was deeply affected by WW1/WW2.
I didn't know that the poppies existed elsewhere, but it's good to see that they do. I assume it's a British heritage/Commonwealth thing.
