They see it as trying to awaken the country of the problems that it is facing. The thing they should know is that if they really want to help there is other ways that don’t disrespect the soldiers. At the end of the day this problem is going to go on until one of the sides gives in, and the only thing I hope for is the continuation of the national anthem
