Here's one article I had on hand; I'll have to ask Pat tomorrow if she can search the ICCC database for the others.

From Stars & Stripes;

At least three families decided to withdraw life support once their soldier or Marine was returned to the United States, Gullick said, and some have said it was no comfort to see them again; they would rather have remembered them as they were, not so horribly damaged.

Yes the soldiers are counted.

Oops had another one in my file;

Spc. Seth Garceau, 22, was removed from life–support early Friday morning and died three hours later.
