Lo-eg La-rash

 Regarding this

I personally see no reason to go against an explicit Shulchan Aruch [כ"ג א]  and Mishna Brura there. 

Like - why??

לועג לרש means to mock the niftar. Why risk mocking them??

Wearing Tzitzis out is not לכבוד המת. 

The reason of the ציץ אליעזר obviously doesn't apply here. 

Klal Yisrael didn't accept the psak of the Sefer Chasidim [in this or just about everything]. 

It is better to say that the fallen soldiers are holy, אין אדם יכול לעמוד במחיצתם, we mourn their loss - and tuck in our Tzitzis כדברי חז"ל.
