It shouldn’t be used as a sword to attack those who don’t say it by implying that they don’t appreciate what soldiers are risking and fighting for…

there is a difference between a fire which, while dangerous, is not actively seeking to kill and destroy as it is not a living conscious being. As opposed to our enemies who would like nothing more than to kill us
That’s actually very cynical, to say that the emotion is largely hatred for the enemy, rather than concern for our fellow Yidden’s safety. The better chillul to say would be that more soldiers are at risk and die than do firefighters. Of course that’s not the real reason it was instituted…
