This is tremendously, tremendously weird and not at all an okay thing to do.
Agree with Scout on this one....people grieve in different ways but talking about it being their only son and the end of the lineage is a bit odd for my Western culture self. Anyone with more knowledge on his culture have any additional details that would make this seem less weird.

You know what? EVERY culture has different traditions and practices.
Here's the bottom line: A family has lost a son who was committed to serving our nation as an U.S. Army Officer. Who are we, here in this forum to question what the family is doing to grieve and in order to uphold their lineage?
Let's back off of imposing our traditions and criticizing the family on this forum and just wish them the best.
