205.188.192.154 Comments Hi Kristin, I started to say nice job on the analysis of the poem but that doesn't sound right contrasted to your point. You did do a good job and poems are meant to cause a reaction with the reader. And yes any view you get is right. I tend to be more cut and dry than anything, less emotional I expect. Yes I can't say I would disagree with your view.
War is a very sad, wasteful thing.
The damage and pain inflicted are to the people the most disconnected from the process. The image of hosing out the turret is very graphic and pathetically funny. It is very sad to think that someone who has just lost his life would be treated as you put it, like a piece of meat or dirty floor to be washed off and ready for the next one in line.
