The latest military identifications reported by the Department of Defense:


Navy Lt. Kylan A. Jones-Huffman, 31, Aptos, Calif.; killed Thursday in Al Hillah, Iraq, by an unidentified gunman; on temporary duty with the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force.

You know, men and women with a leg or an arm blown off, shrapnel cut through internal organs, blinded, etc. Oh, I know they're not dead, only wounded. But just for fun, how many?
