Could they not say killed in action. and leave it at that. as the guilt that will be felt by fellow colleagues will be unbearable and the shame they will have to live with for the rest of there lives.

Well of the 20 something British soldiers killed up to yesterday (I think soem were KIA today) only one was killed in action (in a riot). All the other had died by friendly fire or accidents. If they were all listed as KIA, we would be under a completely wrong impression of the situation.
