Need help with a paragraph

1. Does the green section imply "a memory that belongs to the government rather than the society is not a reliable and true memory and the memorials that are created on the basis of these governmental memories very soon after their creation become independent entities and begin to resist against the governmental intentions that have resulted in their creation"?

2. Does the orange section mean "citizens and governments are always struggling with each other over such governmental memorials"?

3. I do not understand the red sentence. Could you please help me with it?

Context:

The traditional site of memory for war, however, in western nations is the war memorial, for the memory of war is mostly local. Young, the author of the commentary above, discounts monuments’ role in formulating memory. He finds them ‘of little value’ by themselves. ‘But as part of a nation’s rites or the objects of a people’s national pilgrimage, they are invested with national soul and memory.’ In his view, a state-sponsored memory is not a concretized memory. ‘Once created, memorials take on lives of their own, often stubbornly resistant to the state’s original intentions,’ he notes. Citing the French sociologist Maurice Halbwachs on collective memory, Young argues further that citizens and state always socially mandate this process: ‘For a society’s memory cannot exist outside of those people who do the remembering – even if such memory happens to be at the society’s bidding, in its name.’
