Under certain circumstances it may be fitting, it is never sweet
dulce et decorum est, pro patria mori
I think it means : It is a good and honorable thing to fight for your country "It is sweet and fitting to die for ones country." I believe the phrase comes from Horace's writing and is often referenced in support of war and related areas.
Men had no choice but to fight for their country. Dulce et Decorum est: Pro Patria Mori actually means that it's sweet and fitting to die for your country. That's contradictory as the phrase you mentioned shows. That's the whole meaning of the poem: People may believe it's sweet and fitting to die for your country, but they don't realise the extremes of what went on. Hope that helped!
I am assuming you have read Dulce et decorum est, the WW1 poem. The whole phrase- "Dulce et decorum est, pro patria mori" means "it is sweet and right to die for your country". So pro patria mori means for your country. By the way it is latin. Hope that helped!
Dying for one's country is seen as honorable by some because of sacrifice and loyalty. However, it is also considered tragic because it involves losing a life and the impact on loved ones. There are also ethical concerns about the nature of conflicts and whether they truly justify such sacrifices.

Wilfred Owen's poem "Dulce et Decorum Est" highlights the horrors of war and challenges the glorification of it. The Latin phrase in the title translates to "It is sweet and honorable to die for one's country," but Owen uses his poem to show the brutal reality and suffering that soldiers endure, debunking the romanticized notion of war.
