What is so ‘sweet & right’ with others’ dead end plight

Since the Romans has echoed the jingoistic cry ‘Dulce et Decorum est Pro Patria Mori’ or ‘It is sweet and right to die for one’s country’:

Awash in gushing
about what’s ‘sweet & right’
while not much blushing
of others’ dead end plight

While some ‘laid down’ their lives
at home Jingoists grandstand
keep slapping their high-fives
while just The Dead know first-hand

But why bother taking time to reflect
when easier just accept or reject?
