"I am not protesting against the conduct of the war, but against the political errors and insincerities for which the fighting men are being sacrificed"

In this quote, Siegfried Sassoon is expressing his opposition to the political decisions and dishonesty that have caused the sacrifice of soldiers in war. He clarifies that his protest is not against the actual fighting of the war, however rather the errors and lack of genuineness from those in power that have actually led to the death. Sassoon is highlighting the oppression of sending males to fight and die for a cause that may not be just or respectable. He is calling attention to the obligation of those in positions of authority to make smart and honest decisions that do not put the lives of soldiers at risk.
