fragging ; frag

Amerikansk: Mytteri, hvor soldater skyder og på anden vis dræber plagsomme kampivrige officerer.
Begrebet er udviklet af amerikanske soldater under Vietnam-krigen fra fragmentation grenade; men soldaters drab på officerer kendes fra tidligere krige. Between 1964 and 1972, the number of Marines charged with murder or attempted murder under the relevant articles of the UCMJ in all instances was only 121. The limited data indicate then that the incidence of fragging in Marine units may have been considerably below that found in Army units, which reported a total of 1016 admitted fraggings during the entire Vietnam War, skriver Gabriel - der refererer Richard A. Gabriel ; Paul Savage’s afhandling: Crisis in Command: Mismanagement in the Army (New York: Hill & Wang, 1978). Between 1969 and 1971, the Army reported 600 fragging incidents that killed 82 Americans and injured 651. In 1971 alone, there were 1.8 fraggings for every 1,000 American soldiers serving in Vietnam, not including gun and knife assaults. Frag bruges også i computerspil.
