LowerCaseRepublican Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8246860/ I dunno if it is the "first" but the first one being publicized. Quite unfortunate. BAGHDAD, Iraq - An Army National Guard staff sergeant has been charged with premeditated murder in a “fragging incident” that killed two senior officers at a U.S. base near Tikrit last week, the U.S. military said Thursday. Army officials told NBC News that Staff Sgt. Alberto B. Martinez had been disciplined by the two officers, a possible motive for the attack. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, did not disclose the nature of the disciplinary action. Fragging is military slang for intentionally killing a comrade in a wartime setting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 War is hell. I cannot imagine the stress these guys are under. I wonder if these incidents have increased or decreased since we went with an all-volunteer military? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
