 Killed in action - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
KIA is a miltiary acronym for the classification Killed In Action.
According to The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) a person can be KIA even if they have not fired their weapon but have received a hostile attack.
Troops killed in accidents, such as accidental vehicle crashes, terrorism, or other "non-hostile" means do not however count as KIA and so it is only used for deaths that occur directly by other combatants from “hostile action” whilst in combat on the battlefield.

The next time ABC’s Nightline does one of its programs dedicated to the men and women killed in action (KIA) in the present conflict, they should display the portrait of conservative talk show host, Michael Graham.
Further insights into which side CAIR is on can be gleaned from Hooper’s defense of Saudi Arabia, reported in April 2002 by United Press International, for the kingdom’s announced decision to set aside another $50 million (in addition to $33 million it had already paid) for families and “victims” of the infitada.
Fortunately, while Michael Graham may have been functionally “killed” in action as a result of ABC pulling the plug on his microphone, he has not been silenced.
