in Iraq a combat death. I don't care if the guy (or gal) slipped and fell at Bingo Night in the mess hall. If our armed forces are deployed in another country and one of them dies. The reason they died is because they are deployed for combat.
Categorizing these deaths somehow makes the accidents seem trivial. "Mrs. Johnson ... Your boy was killed in Iraq yesterday, fortunately he was not killed in combat."
Cheers
