Napalm is not windborn as is mustard gas and sarin and most other 'chemical' weapons. It's the windborn trait that makes chemical weapons so effective against large numbers of people at a very small cost. Actually, as a military weapon, the experience in WWI proved gas wasn't really that effective. There were a number of cases where the wind shifted a little and they ended up gassing themselves. It is, at best, a terror weapon and that is why it was easy to get it banned in 1925. |
