Napalm's "official" purpose in Vietnam was that of a defoliant.
Agreed, it's a incendiary mixture but is effective in clearing
cover in dense growth. The fact that it may have also been used to
target the enemy hiding in the growth is a misuse of it's official
purpose.

the Wash Po put that naked little girl running down the road, on the
cover.
Was LeMay defoliating Tokyo?
