well, in the past it would be something worth dying for, all the honour and glory. However, honour and glory do not exist in the dictionary for a lot of people nowadays or is degrading. It is an attitude that is lost by people due to modernisation. People have to care more about money than psychological satisfaction. Either people had changed or the world had. Either way, the world functions in such a way that you can no longer survive with just honour and glory unlike during the past like Victorian Age and further.
The parents will be proud since being a soldier would mean you are fit and the country needs you. Furthermore, the pay of the soldier wouldn't be that bad. Everyone will not mind a title or two, being acknowledged as a soldier means you have the power to protect. But when the life is lost, what is left is pain and sorrow. Since the idea of honour and glory is abandon by the current world, the people left behind has nothing positive to look forward to.
That is why people are mad when soldiers died, they can no longer see it as an honourable and glorious thing. Although some might still value honour and glory but often it is only a way to escape from the pain and sorrow after the soldier died, it is only an excuse, not a value that they really have.

Okay I see where you are coming from. People get mad when their mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters die as a result of war. Would you be mad if your brother didnt survive the car bomb? The people get mad with factors they cannot control, such as the people who killed their soldier, or the government who sent them there.
Most of all, you cant win a war by dying for your country, you have to make more of the other people die for thier country. When our people die they get mad because we are losing the battle.

Because soldiers are human beings with families and maybe children to take care of. People get mad because a fake image of war is promoted in the media and because politicians always promise there will be few casualties and that the conflict won't take long, it's always their side with the least amount of loses. And, consequently, nobody really believes that it's goint to be THEIR loved one who's going to die!
People get mad:
1. because they are lied to and
2. because someone they love dies in a very violent, unfair manner, far away from home.
It's perfectly normal!

The same reason that when fat office workers die when their tower is hit by a jet their families demand millions of dollars from the government.
