John, where was napalm usually dropped?


My Marine buddy said they called it in when they were about to be over
run. The trick was being sure you got the guys chasing you and not get
hit yourself. More than a defoliant, it was a battlefield denial
weapon. Nobody is going to run through the fire to come get you.


I never saw it used.


Me either but my old roomie was a force recon marine. He saw plenty.
