He was horrified, since he detested grenades and harbored a fear that the troops would "frag" him with them (!)

Good leaders don't get fragged...................

In my last tour in VN there was an LT that was a target for fragging. The guy was a real A@@hole, I mean a REAL A##hole.

The first warning was a smoke grenade under his bunk, the second a tear gas grenade.

He was transferred to a detachment by the CO. While in that detachment One of the troops threatened to kill him if he didn't stop F@@@ing with them.

He resigned his commission shortly there after, the guy who threatened him was busted for smuggling a hooker on Base Camp.

Absolutely true story.
