Sitting for anthem not major affront

Not standing or holding our hand over our heart when our national anthem is played! Should that person be punished?

Should we be forced to show allegiance to our country, which is not our country? Wouldn’t that be similar to how the German children and others were forced to show allegiance during Hitler’s reign?

The more important matter is to improve our country so that it is our country once again and each of us is proud of it once again.
