Answer 1

I have read on web that there are stringent criteria governing a war-death ie if person dies in hospital in Germany it is not counted, or motor accident or suicide also not counted. Also have read on web that deaths of 'Green Card soldiers' not counted, that they are thrown in river or buried locally.

Answer 2

spec forces deaths on classified missions are rarely reported
