It can be viewed either way. In Flanders Fields is a lamentation on the young lives lost in combat, which would make it an anti-war poem. But it is also a plea from the dead to "finish the job", which might be interpreted as a pro-war stance. But when the job is finished, the end result is, hopefully, peace. The author, John McCrea, was moved to write it by the Horror of the battle, and he was a physician - a life saver. Ultimately, the poem might be thought of as ambiguous in meaning, which much great poetry is.
