War is often seen as a glorification, a romansism, or even an act of "God." The world today even sees war as a part of a social hierarchy. In Stephen Cranes, "War Is Kind," the speaker sees or seems to know that war is a glorification, a scene of romance,and that war is tolerable; that war is kind.
