Almost every day, below the headline “Names of the Dead,” the New York Times publishes their names according to the same stark formula: “The Department of Defense has identified 768 American service members who have died since the start of the Iraq war. It has confirmed the death of the following Americans.” And then the names follow, and the ages—18, 19, 20, 21—and the hometowns...
