Eli5: What made Napalm so useful as a weapon of war and what were some of the drawbacks of its use in warfare?
In: 196
Napalm is sticky fire so if you attempt to brush it off you, you just spread it over a greater area and make it worse. However it is also known as a fuel air explosive so it you ignite it over a trench the napalm burns all the oxygen in the air and the people in the trench suffocate even if they have no burns on them.
