There is a little wiggle room in “lost their lives during wartime.”

That said, we don’t count people who died in Basic Training during the Iraq War as “lost their lives during wartime.”

There is no official definition for that term, it’s a journalistic construct. AR385-40 absolutely counts BCT deaths and off-duty POV deaths in the Army count. So do the other services under a DoD Instruction.
