The poem deals with the realities and horrors of war (theme) and sends out a message that it is NOT "sweet and noble to die for one's country" (which is what Dulce et Decorum Est, pro patria mori means). The message is angry, or bitter, and speaks out loudly against government Propaganda which persuaded young men to go to war without informing them about what they were getting themselves into.
