Why American Soldiers Started Killing Their Officers? Vietnam's Hidden Crisis

Описание: #ww2history #ww2 #wwii
Elite paratroopers refuse orders. 900+ fragging incidents. Soldiers murdering officers. The collapse nobody admits.

Captain Brian Donovan stood in Firebase Mackie, Vietnam, March 1971, holding a fragmentation grenade pin. His sergeant lay dead fifteen feet away—killed not by the enemy, but by his own men. In that moment, Donovan realized the American military was fighting two wars: one against the Viet Cong, and one against itself.
This is the untold story of Vietnam's psychological collapse—the crisis that destroyed unit cohesion and turned America's military into something unrecognizable. Between 1969 and 1972, over 900 documented fragging incidents occurred: soldiers using grenades, rifles, and improvised weapons to murder their own officers and NCOs. But the numbers only tell part of the story.
Through the eyes of officers who witnessed the disintegration firsthand, we explore how an elite fighting force descended into chaos. Drug epidemics. Refusal of direct orders. Underground newspapers calling for mutiny. Entire platoons that wouldn't leave base. This wasn't just indiscipline—it was systematic collapse.
What caused it? How did the U.S. military lose control of its own soldiers? And what does this crisis teach us about the limits of institutional power when morale breaks?
