I don't think it is disrespectful. Perhaps this helps keep the human nature of the deaths palpable, which is a good thing. These are people who have died, not faceless bodies in uniform. We must never forget that.

As Stalin said: "One death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic." And he ought to know.

And for all of you who claim that every one of these soldiers died for what they believed in: shame on you. Shame on you for disregarding the individuality of every one of those soldiers. You don't know them or what they felt about being in Iraq.
