I have to disagree that this statement is self-centered. It's actually a very selfless act.
To speak for them and say they are proud to die in a war. "It's ok he's dead, he'll be proud to serve his country." Respect that death is a tragedy and just because he died in a war does not make it ok or take away any pain. Of course, dying for your country or others is a self-less act. I'm proud of the soldiers in Iraq but I wouldn't assume that they should be the same. It's their lives that are being lost not mine.
