[Harsh, yes, but Reinhardt doesn't want to be protected, so he can't frame it like that, and all Jack knows how to do anymore is push people away. Better him than all the rest of them. He doesn't know what he can say to make them understand that, because they're all just as self-sacrificing as he is, especially when the greater good is involved.
After a moment, he seems to realize that was meaner than he might have liked.]
I didn't come here for your forgiveness. [It might be nice, sure, but Jack doesn't need it to finish his mission. He doesn't deserve it, so he's already resigned himself to carrying on without it.
What cuts deeper is Reinhardt's apparent unwillingness to even try and understand where he's coming from. Jack's shoulders slump, and he takes a step back, as if he knows he's overstayed his welcome.]
Just thought maybe you'd understand why I had to do this. That's all.
[Of all people, given what they've been through together.]
