Considering W. Owen was a young poet who wrote of his experience in actual trenches where WMD were prevalent in the form of various gases and the like I would dare say, nope, not me. If you had any ability for skilled analysis you would realize this poem really has little to do with actual war and much less to do with actual "battlefield" combat of any sort, especially the kind described in Mr. Owens work. It is not any sort of vain attempt at what you might think is a protest poem or a "war poem" related to the current situation going on in the Middle East. You are wrong in that regard. It would not be a vain attempt at creating a protest poem because it is not one. I suppose you could say it is a vain attempt at creating satire, but hey, what the heck. And another thing: hahahahahahahaha.
