According to GI's from the

vision at Quan Tri, the bounties
work something like this: the un-
popularity and the necessity to get
rid of an officer or NCO "for thej
common good" is decided by a par-
ticular unit's men in clandestine
meetings. The "unit" could be a
company, a platoon, or a squad.
Aftera decision is made the boun-
ty is decided upon by common
agreement and a collection is tak-
en, each soldier contributing an
equal amount. The money is then
held by an appointed member of
the group. Then one day when a
firefight comes along someone
takes advantage of the covering
chaos of combat and does the deed.
No one knows whether the boun-
ties are ever actually collected by
the "fragger" or exactly how
much "gung-ho" officers' lives arej
worth, but the figure reportedly

smoke grenade rolled under his

If that doesn't do the trick-if
the harrassment continues or in-
creases-the guilty party is hon-
ored with a "cs" (teargas) gren-
ade during the night. That's it.
When a man gets "gassed" he
knows he's'in trouble. Next time
it's going to be a frag and most
men get the message. Says one
Americal rear area GI, "The lifers
know when to quit-they don't
push too far."
The Americal's efforts to dry up
their soldiers' frag supply helped
decrease the number of fraggings,
but some troops are still managing
to get grenades. Line troopers

'"Fragging's" new popularity is
attributable to a variety of rea-
