One of the underlying principles or motivations for protocol and getting it right is that it's an ultimate show of respect for your country. It's a way of unifying your country, and it's a show of respect for somebody who has sacrificed, in a lot of instances, for their country.
To get it wrong or to not talk about it could ultimately be the ultimate sign of disrespect, when you have the ability to actually get it right. Would you agree with that?
