[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 317438, member: 1963"] There's been a steady increase of "fragging" incidents since the Viet Nam era. Unfortunately, since so many seem to view the military as a sort of gov't funded Residential Treatment Center (RTC), and the military repeatedly cuts back on psychological testing and requirements, more and more soldiers with the potential for this sort of violence are coming into service. Add in the extended tours, being deployed to combat zones where the Geneva Convention has long fallen by the wayside, and you've got a recipe for disaster. In some ways we laid the groundwork for this in the nineties and we are now reaping the results. [/QUOTE]
