There were thousands of fragging threats during the Vietnam War, most of which were never acted on. There are at least 800 confirmed attempts in the Army and Marines. 86 of the officers and sergeants were killed and approximately 700 were injured. This is only the documented cases. The true number of fraggings may never be known.
Many officers in Vietnam were afraid for their lives simply because they were authority figures. General Colin Powell (a major at the time he served in Vietnam) remarked that he moved his cot every night because he was not only afraid a Viet Cong informant might come after him in the night but also because of his fear that his own men would kill him in his sleep.
Yep, most of my Philippino unlicensed have the same FOC license as me & higher college degrees than me too. Iâm never going to strike a superior out of ignorant rage. To excuse an able body intelligent man for committing such as act would be considered bigotry or racism in my opinion. I havenât & wonât discuss this video with my Philippino crew because I know they wouldnât approve & I donât want to spend all day with them watching videos of Americans acting like stupid asses afterwards. All you commentors who say you understand this behavior from a Philippino bosun are a bunch of bigots in my book.

Nope⌠definitely not racist.
You seem afraid. Itâs like this video truly disturbs you because you identify most strongly with the chief mate company man screwing over his workers. But hey, maybe youâre just a humanitarian.

Perhaps? But one thing thatâs weird, if the attacker was a black guy from Philly beating up on a white CM Iâm sure this thread would have went down a completely different path. Iâve been around this forum long enough to know it would be reversed, there would be all types of nasty insults directed at the bosun & defense of the CM.

Asshole, I was juxtaposing experiences.
Since I have experience with both.
Keep your dipshit opinions to yourself maybe.
Well this thread went far off the rails, donât expect itâs going to get back on track. Going to close the thread.
