The term "frag" referred to all manners of "assasination" (the official
term).

-------------------------------------------------

Actually, it refers to the inappropriate handling of a grenade, as in failing
to tape the spoon and allowing the pin to become entagled in your mosquito bar
so that when you tucked yourself in for the night...

This sort of thing was seldom a problem in the Real World or aboard ship but in
I Corp junior officers with Political Influence (ie, that red 'PI' on the BACK
of their service jacket) were being rotated through on a 90 day basis just so
they could get their ticket punched, spending the remainder of their tour TAD
to someplace else. Their total lack of experience in a combat environment lead
to a lot of needless casualties. And personal accidents.

When politicians are running the war victory is not an option. For a senior
NCO in that situation a successful tour means making sure as many of your
people as possible come home alive. Everything is showtime.
