Talk:Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori

message: is it really quoted today by military leaders? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Benson85 (talk • contribs) .
: I would find that hard to believe; it is now pretty deeply associated with Owen's poem. --Saforrest 18:57, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:   It's very common, particularly in the Commonwealth, for military members of all ranks, and people associated with the military, to quote it.  I see it all the time.  The entire quote, as well as its fragments and derivations, is also still used in the mottoes of regiments.  In fact, it might be worth bearing in mind that military members are quite thoughtful, and are fully capable of simultaneously associating it with Horace *and* Owen, and still believing in the concept without cognitive dissonance.  Just because it is a lie does not mean it does not have some value, particularly for soldiers. Sigma-6 (talk) 22:17, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

message: It could also be that Horace was using irony, i. e. quoting military leaders of his time. He was very often ironic! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.162.82.95 (talk • contribs) .
: I don't think that's how Horace's lines have been traditionally interpreted; see for example . --Saforrest 18:58, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Horace ironic?

message: It seems to have been suggested that this article be merged with the article about "Dulce et Decorum Est" (The Poem by Wilfred Owens). Personally, I don't really see that as an appropriate merger.  The complete phrase has quite the history of its own, whereas the poem has its own seperate meanings and history. The two are certainly related, but not to the point at which merging is appropriate. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.179.169.18 (talk • contribs) .
: Agree against Merge; comment added also on Talk:Dulce et Decorum Est#Disambiguation? -- Deborahjay 22:34, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge: Not

message: I could easily translate the article to german or create a german version of it. I'm new to wikipedia, as you can tell not registered yet. So my question is, how do I do it?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.52.149.4 (talk) 21:05, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Translation 

message: I have noticed a flaw in the translation giving a feminine connotation to the word "patria" which is properly translated "fatherland" rather than "mother country". I will alter it, barring protests to the opposite by those well-studied in Latin. 136.242.105.88 (talk) 02:13, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I really like the factoid about Brecht criticising it in a school essay - if anyone comes up with a citation for that it would be greatly appreciated.
