American troops killed their own commanders so often during the Vietnam War that the crime earned its own term: fragging. Enlisted men would turn on superiors they despised and try to kill or maim them with fragmentation grenades. Our guest, Army veteran George Lepre, has researched the causes behind this dark phenomenon, now believed to be a rare occurence because of the all-volunteer military. After several years in the U.S. Army, George Lepre is currently pursuing a graduate degree at the New School for Social Research.
