Dying for your country it's heroic now and it always was and will be and this persaude men to fight in war for their country.
Thus poem uses imagery of site, smell and hearing to say that being killed and killing is not sweet and heroic.
The descriptive examples of a soldier dying in "I saw him drowning" and "He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning" makes you feel you were these yourself.
From this poem which describes the war scene in a good details makes you realise the brutality of the war and makes you wonder about the glory of dying.
The big idea in this poem is in the last stanza.
