So.
How many contractors were killed who were not serving in combat? That could have happened to anyone going over there.
I have no information about how your friend was serving in Iraq, such as in combat or being on a supply line. ( Wasn't that what Jessica Lynch was doing?) The other one you mentioned was a health care specialist responding to a casualty. How is this serving in combat?
Also, it was during Iraq that rules on combat were being bypassed and became a defacto rule due to needing people, in terms of being on front lines. But it was not official policy. I remember reading about it.
