I am no expert in white poppies, but as far as I am aware, they are an anti war emblem. I had always believed that soldiers/sailors/airmen were the group most opposed to actually fighting wars. but it seems a new class of liberal type with no experience of conflict feel they have the god given right or need to show their opposition to conflict at parades and such like. I do realise it is their right to do so, but also see the irony in the fact that their god given rights were hard won with the very lives of those they are preaching against (this is only my opinion of course, and I am sure they would differ)
