Through Khidmat Negara, people will have a sense of belonging of being a Malaysian holding Malaysian's IC, and this will make them to be more patriotic to Malaysia. It may be unnecessary for a resident in Malaysia to attend Khidmat Negara since Malaysia has no war, but it will encourage the people to have the will to serve the country better. So, we should not blame the country but to appreciate such training provided by the government.
Khidmat Negara has somehow instilled patriotism on me, I will take it as a opportunity for me to train myself. It would not be a torture, it just depends on the mindset of the person. Since I do not participate in Khidmat Negara before, I cannot really feel the sense of patriotism in the deepest of my heart.
Back to the poem, the soldier expressed his patriotism and love towards the country. This can be seen from the literary devices he had used in the poem, he left a wonderful impression of England to the readers. He conveyed that he was borned in England, and he had to repay the country by sacrificing himself in the battlefield to achieve victory for England. He did not regret to die for the country, he thought that it was the most glorious moment in his life.
