2. I wonder if there is a total of the "non-combat" deaths...

it sure seems to me that there are alot of accidents, non-combat deaths in a war zone! I would have thought a death in a combat zone would be a combat death but that's just silly me, I guess.

3. Cause is "undetermined"? But it's "non-combat". Uh huh. Got it.
