The U.S. civilian contractor, killed by the same “indirect fire” as the U.S. soldier, will be accorded none of these courtesies. She is simply a statistic: the 161st American civilian contractor killed in Iraq since 2003. When I called a friend in Iraq to ask about the circumstances, I was told, “Who cares about the civilian? We’re just road kill.”
