From the article: "Roman satirist Horace in Latin, "Dolce et decorum est pro patria mori." Meansing: "It's noble and fitting to die for one's country"
Yes! But it is much better to make the enemy die for his county.

Maybe that was what Horace was trying to say...after all the article did say he
was a satirist.
Maybe that was some punch-line to a story about some barbarians that the
Roman legions wiped out with a kill ratio of 100-to-1.
