"Fragging" evolved from "fragmentation grenade'...
Usually resulted in the demise of dumbass officers determined to get their entire command killed so they could get their next bar....

The military did not identify the unit of the 101st that was in the camp but said it had been in Kuwait for about one week.Damn. A friend of mine just got deployed last week with the 101st over there. :-(
If anything happens, I was promised to be notified by my friends daughter. Since I have not recieved a phone call, I can only hope my friend was not caught up in this.

I wonder if the rumor that Hussein is paying $15K for a dead soldier, $30K for a living soldier is true?
If so, it adds another twist to the missing soldier story, although I don't know he they would get him out of camp.

guys on the ground were told to put their masks on! On ABC radio they reported that for Camp NY, not PA.
All reports seem quite foggy.

I'm not believing that an American soldier did this, no way, no how.There are about a quarter of a million allied troops in the region--in any group that large, there will be crazy people.

whoever threw the frags also let the enemy know exactly where the officers were tented..frags tossed in ..officers ran out of tent right into enemy small arms fire...
that is called an ambush...and it took inside info from someone...
I was in Vietnam and saw a fragging attempt...the ususal suspects were involved...as they were in the majority of these cases against superiors...it go so bad that by July of 1970 all troops coming into the base camp on standowns had to turn in their weapons and all combat equipment and had them locked up in the company conex to be returned only in the event of being overun or a returning to the field...
I opted at that time to take my standowns out at the battalion aid station on our firebase rather than dealing with what was going on in the base camp...
Somethings never change..but it looks like they could get worse ...
Muslim Chaplins in the US Army?....brilliant! imo

Not to be confused with fagging.

Well, I was imagining the grenade was a distraction while others kidnapped a soldier/hostage, or something. I guess I'm glad it wasn't that.

If he is muslim , it'll be buried deep. Note the DC sniper, not only did they bury the religion, but the race & homosexuality also.
