Example Sentences
- "The public read about the fraggers, the drug users and the unit that balked in combat. It heard little about the much more numerous draftees and short‐term enlistees who routinely spent their nights aggressively patrolling in the mud of the Delta and much of their days voluntarily helping villagers near their fire bases build roads and houses."
- "They were not a band of rebellious “fraggers” assassinating their officers or marauding killers piling up body counts of the innocent in a haze of marijuana smoke."
