That's true.
Everything I read about Casey indicates that he joined the Army to be a Chaplain's Assistant and non-combatant. That being the case, the fact that he volunteered for the rescue mission during which he was killed does speak volumes about his character.
There is really no way to clear the static between his mother's rhetoric and that of the government. Both are extreme.
It's not terribly uncommon, however, for a soldier to follow what he/she feels is a sense of duty, whether the cause warrants it or not. I'd like to believe that he died for something he really did believe in.
