i have now read the part you quoted, and i agree with you.

i still mean what i said above, but i now realize i was talking about a different part of what Kelly said (he was also explaining why Trump made the exact comments he did: http://www.npr.org/2017/10/19/558836022/watch-kelly-denounces-congresswomans-public-account-of-trump-s-call-with-widow)

Kelly then said he told Trump what his friend Gen. Joseph Dunford, now the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told him when notifying Kelly that his son had been killed in action.

"[Dunford] said, ‘Kell, He was doing exactly what he wanted to do when he was killed. He knew what he was getting into by joining, that 1 percent. He knew what the possibilities were because we’re at war. And when he died’ — in the four cases we’re talking about Niger, in my son’s case in Afghanistan – ‘when he died he was surrounded by the best men on this earth, his friends,’ " Kelly explained. “That’s what the president tried to say to four families the other day.”

perhaps in the future i should not jump to conclusions and read things? … nah
