How so? Everyone seems to be pouncing on the "he knew what he was getting into" language. Based on what Kelly said yesterday, that is standard language told to surviving family members. The soldier was a Green Beret, at the tip of the spear, who without a doubt knew what he was getting into and wanted to get into it by virtue of everything he went through to earn his long tab.

Eh, just probably a poor choice of words and evidently not very comforting to her. I think it's really a big nothing and it would probably go away, but he can't let it go.

As Gen Kelly stated, his call with those very similar words came from his friend Gen Dunford (USMC). As a ret Marine with a son in NROTC, I get it, but I can see where the average civilian family might not appreciate that line at this moment and how it might have bene said...tone and demeanor are everything with these calls.
