Yes and they are allowed to and state as such. They are the ones fighting, not you. Again, talk is cheap. You can be proud of them but assuming they're proud to die for their country is, like I said earlier, self-centered bull ****.

I am not saying how he should feel.
How is that disrespecting him?

You were answering Lanny's question by stating that if you had died you would be proud to die in a war. You were trying to make a point and from my perspective it was: that soldiers should be proud to die in wars and their family should just shut up afterwards because he's proud. My point is that you have never been in that situation and that your point made the whole situation seem shallow. Thus disrespecting him and his family.
