How did American soldiers use napalm without harming themselves?

724 viewsOther

I know napalm usage was quite common in wartime between WW2 and Vietnam, and I’m also very aware of just how damaging the substance was to the people affected. Internal damage, skin essentially melting, burning underwater (cue Phil Swift), etc. My question is, how were soldiers able to, for lack of a better word, safely use napalm without harming themselves as well as their targets?

Napalm does not burn underwater, and you just avoid getting it on yourself while its on fire. It’s not very complicated.

That’s like asking how you can use a hose without getting wet.
