Yeah, pretty crass, I must admit. The guy loses his son and you're saying he shouldn't be so upset?
The thing that makes our military different from so many others is that our troops aren't supposed to be just thrown away at the whim of their leaders. They are willing to sacrifice and do whatever is called for, but the other side of the bargain is that their sacrifice be for something meaningful and for the greater benefit of the country as a whole. Augie fulfilled his part of the bargain. It is perfectly fair to then to point out when the other side is not keeping up their end.
