Eh, the Star Spangled Banner has some controversy surrounding it based in verses not typically sung but that are a part of the original song, as well as Key's background as a wealthy slave-owner who helped put Taney on the SCOTUS. The military is also not seen as a "protecting force" by all and it is inherently political based on the political appointees that are the leadership of the branches.
