Not that I'm telling you what to do or anything, but what you just did was a mistake. By arguing against someone's statement you legitimize it. You're saying there's some part of that statement true enough to warrant a discussion.
What you should have said was, "The male soldier died - he's the primary victim (he's fucking dead). The female left at home is, at best, a secondary victim (she's sad, but still alive)"
Force someone to make intellectually honest arguments before you debate them. If something is categorically false, make that clear and then don't engage it.

As for the debating topic, I guess it's like what they say about not arguing with an idiot. I considered it an idiotic statement to try to make the woman the victim when it was the soldier who gave their life, so I was trying to spin the blame back to the woman. It seems that all people know how to do nowadays is blame someone else for their problems or play the victim card when things go wrong.
