No, it's not an injury then. If he died, he fell. Then it would be a death. There's another column that shows death due to battle and death outside of battle. There are cases, as you know, in which a soldier has died in a traffic accident. That would be down as a non-battle death, which I think is being very unfair. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and airwomen fall in the theatre of operation; they still fall for the nation. At the end of the day, they fell.
