…showed last 75 words of 996 total…can see this poem having many different meanings to many different people. However, in my mind I think enough evidence is evident to suggest that the young soldier did not want to be in this war and felt that war overall was pointless. His word choice suggests to me that this young man is very well educated, thus being more likely to figuratively step outside his present situation and observe the futility of the war.
