Training accidents are tragic, but they do happen. But you seem to be comparing training accidents to training accidents. This isn't training that is killing these soldiers and Marines, it's mortars and bombs and snipers.
And he isn't trying to justify each individual death, but the totality of deaths, which is perfectly reasonable, and should be justified.
