Wilfred Owen’s infamously chilling poem, written about a gas attack in WW1, is still a stark reminder of the brutality of war over 100 years later. A small segment of Dulce et Decorum est reads,
“Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind,
Drunk with fatigue, deaf even to the hoots,
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind”…
Was the physical and mental trauma of such horrors enough to drive a young man to kill when he returned home from war?…
