Fragging in US Army slang refers to the murder of a fellow soldier with a fragmentation grenade. Anywhere between 1% and 4% of all US personnel killed in the Vietnam War were officers fragged by their own men.[1]
Outside of the Military
The slang is also used by gamers, who use it to refer to a kill with any weapon, not just a fragmentation grenade.
Notes
- ↑ 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." [1]
