Jayne looks out for himself first and foremost. His bringing up the war was well within the character of Jayne. Joss wrote it that way to bring out background from Mal and Zoe in the war, but he also did it because it is in Jayne's character to do so; pointing out to what was obvious, and that was that Mal was taking on more than he should worry himself with. Getting into trouble that in Jayne's eyes was not worth it...no money involved means no gain in Jayne's eyes. So to him, at this point in the movie, Mal was going out of his way for River and Simon for no damn good reason - and he was endagering EVERYBODY on the ship. Jayne pointed out that Mal was gonna get everybody killed if he kept on the current couse of action just like his platoon in Serenity Valley.
