Since I can no longer use FF.Net or a pen drive to transfer docs between skool computers and home computers i'm going to have to employ this page

The poets viewpoint in the poem ‘Dulce et Decorum est’ is very anti-war because he served in the world war and saw how horrible it was. The poem details a gas attack the poet expirenced and was written as a reply to a poem of a similar name by Jessie Pope, that glamourized war. “My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est Pro patria mori.” This quote sums up his entire viewpoint of the war. He feels it’s a crime and it’s wrong to tell young men that dying in war is a noble and patriotic thing, and propaganda is lies.
