BaalChatzaf Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 napalm - terrifying weapon...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfMxkBzRsRA&hd=1Terrifying, but in use (in some form) since the Germans invented flame throwers for use in the Great War. It has never been outlawed.Ba'al Chatzaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brant Gaede Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Napalm is generally more effective than high explosive against bunkers. Burn and/or asphyxiate. Bombs do a better job than flame throwers. I don't think the army uses them any more. Too dangerous and bulky for the troops. A WWII weapon, especially against the Japanese. Maybe used in Korea. In taking fire all I wanted was for a napalm drop. Every American combatant in Vietnam must have loved it too, absent "friendly fire." All you wanted was for the people shooting at you was to be dead, dead, dead and even more dead. You would throw them feet first into a wood-chipper and press them down screaming if that was what it took. War is killing people. There is no nice about it. The only choke is the weapons you have access to or are given access to. I'm sure the Marines assaulting Tarawa would have preferred an atomic bomb drop.--Brant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
