Views on War in Brooke's The Soldier and Owen's Dulce et Decorum est

Although 'The Soldier' by Rupert Brooke and 'Dulce et Decorum Est' by WIlfred Own are concerned with the common theme o war, the two poems contrast two very different views of war. 'The Soldier' gives a very positive view of war, whereas Own's portrayal is negative to the extreme.
