'''Fragging''' in US Army slang refers to the murder of a fellow soldier with a [[fragmentation grenade]]. About 2% of all US personnel killed in the [[Vietnam War]] were officers fragged by their own men.<ref>The army admitted that it could not account for how 1,400 officers and noncommissioned officers died. This number, plus the official list of fragging deaths, has been accepted as the unacknowledged army estimate for officers killed by their men. It suggests that 20 to 25 percent--if not more--of all officers killed during the war were killed by enlisted men, not the "enemy." [http://www.isreview.org/issues/09/soldiers_revolt.shtml]

<ref>The US Army itself does not know exactly how many...officers were murdered. But they know at least 600 were murdered, and then they have another 1400 that died mysteriously. [http://home.mweb.co.za/re/redcap/vietcrim.htm "Fragging" and "Combat Refusals" in Vietnam] </ref>
