Urban legends; really? What does hostile action have to do with anything? These soldiers died serving in our military under orders from the President at the time. They get the same funeral benefits, the same pay out to spouses, the same veteran's family support and survivor benefits, for serving on those foreign soils. You might want to check with the families of the dead before you and Urban Legends say their loved one's death doesn't count. You enjoy being cruel, don't you, mallcontent?
Nobody said they didn't count. They didn't all serve on those foreign soils either,
I don't see any sympathy from you for all the civilian government employees who died in any administration. Don't they count?
