A friend sent this link to me, it is a GREAT thing someone has done putting it all together. You click on the state, then look for the city, and it gives names and details on the men lost.
A question .... In my little town, there are 7 names listed. Details of casualty for most show KIA by " Small arms or gunfire ", " Artillery, Rocket, or Mortar ", etc .....
One has the following listed:
Casualty Type: Hostile, Died Outright
Casualty Reason: Ground Casualty
Casualty Detail: Misadventure
My question is ...... what is " Misadventure " ? Boobytrap ? I have no idea, and hope someone can shed some light.
