From the article:
"During the Vietnam War assailants carried out nearly 800 confirmed fraggings or attempted fraggings, killing 86 men and wounding an estimated 700. “But this was probably only the tip of a deadly iceberg,” says historian James Westheider. Thousands of additional attacks may never have come to light. Some may have been falsely reported as accidents, to spare family members the pain of knowing a fellow soldier had slain their loved one. Still other fraggings may have been known only to the killer, as when a soldier covertly shot a superior on the battlefield. Vietnam veteran Micheal Clodfelter, a researcher for the Dupuy Institute, estimates that about 5,000 such fraggings went unrecorded, though there is no way to quantify that number."

In my FREE books for example in the “President Roosevelt Years” you can read about how his military intell people (SIGINT) knew the Japanese were headed to Pearl Harbor, but they did not tell the General and Admiral in Hawaii. In my JFK book you can learn about Lee Oswald being who was working for the CIA or ONI when he went to USSR and after he returned to the US. And you can learn the evidence that points to the CIA and the Joint Chiefs of Staff as being who plotted Kennedy's assassination and the cover up. The trigger pullers were most likely anti-Castro Cubans with their North American mafia associates. In my book about the Nixon Years you can learn how closely he was tied to the North American mafia and learn that General Alexander Haig Jr. was most likely the real deep throat. You can also in this book learn about the Nixon Administration running a death squad in Latin America that pretended to be working as a counter drugs operation. In my book about Bill Clinton's role in trafficking in cocaine and launder money with the CIA you can read about how CIA trafficking in opium during the Vietnam War continued from Latin America. In my book about 9/11 you will get a chance to use your common sense to question more.
Here is a list of my free US History books. I focus on CIA’s political warfare, CIA’s assassination of elected foreign leaders, I focus on CIA’s political warfare and US war crimes.

We live in a dynastic oligarchy made up of some 47 super rich kings and some 130 billionaire princes who rule for the most part and own the main stream news media. The June 2020 homeless count found 66,400 people living on the streets, in a shelter, or in their cars and in LA, up 12.7 percent.
The richest one tenth of one percent of Americans own 17% of stocks
The richest 1% own 50% of stocks
The bottom 50% own 0.7% of stocks
From 1979 to 2019:
• wages for the top 0.1% grew more than twice as fastThe top 1.0% saw their wages grow by 160.3%; and
• In contrast, those in the bottom 90% had annual wages grow by 26.0% .
And public schools are merely public indoctrination camps.
If worker compensation had kept up with productivity gains since 1968, the current minimum wage would be more than $24.00 an hour.
National issues go right to the issue of character and sense of justice of a local, county, or state candidate. So question those candidates more.

The military was too easy on them giving those murderers the PFC Manning treatment and releasing them by 1982. I know a friend ,who was a stateside at Fort Carson as company commander in 1971, who had to chase down soldiers from formation who were running away when they were told they were all going to be drug tested. They had been addicted to heroin from hanging around prostitutes in Vietnam. The Prostitutes were being paid by the NVA or North Vietnamese Army to get these guys hooked. Drunks and druggies are still just as big a problem in 1968 as in 2018. ACID and pot now ravage teens who end up being dropouts ( I have two step-daughters in their early 20s who got started before 15 and they now are on welfare, they don't listen and they are living from cig to cig from drug and alcohol abuse)

Sorry, Maj, but the claim that the VC or the NVA paid the prostitute's was scuttlebutt only. There was never any proof of that. As a matter of fact, after 1963 (the end of Madam Nhu's reign) many of the brothels were owned by the Saigon government and/or the ARVN and the criminal elements. While under the Diem regime, Madam Nhu made a concentrated effort to end all prostitution in the RVN. After Diem was killed, the underworld leaders took over and ran it until those in the ARVN saw the enormous profits. Then they stepped in.
Of course, there were some "independents" but they did not stay in business very long without paying someone, either ARVN, government, or criminal leaders.
