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. http://www.virtualwall.org/iStates.htm |

Misadventure is the word the Department of Defense used during the Vietnam War era to refer to what is commonly called "Friendly Fire." Best wishes, Jim |
