War is by no means a pleasant experience‚ it is an experience that will leave you scarred mentally and physically. In Wilfred Owen’s poem‚ “Dulce Et Decorum Est‚” Wilfred tells a story of war‚ the bloody and dirty version‚ the version that will make men run from war not want to enlist and fight for their country.
