I think doesn't exactly refer to the act of dying, but is more along the lines of "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his." So don't exactly want to die; rather, you want to avoid it, but should it happen, you just want to make it very expensive. But of course, it could also have nothing to do with war; it could be about how you face death, and how much of a burden you leave to your loved ones. (E.g. don't commit suicide leaving a note that tries to shift the blame to your family, or whatever).
