Groups of Madagascar soldiers joined thousands of protestors in the capital Saturday, AFP reporters said, after announcing they would refuse any orders to shoot demonstrators.
Fresh youth-led demonstrations in Antananarivo drew large crowds in one of the biggest gatherings since a protest movement erupted on the Indian Ocean island on September 25.
I think they’re talking about “fragging,” or the practice by veteran units of killing green officers who gave orders likely to get people killed. I have no idea how common it was, or if it was even anything more than urban legend.
Fragging in Vietnam did happen. Wikipedia lists at least three incidents, one of which was attempted multiple times.
