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?

One of the many sadistic cadences we would call while running around base in formation went like this “napalm napalm don’t be blue, sticks to women and children too”. Also, you can make napalm at home relatively easy by adding Styrofoam to gasoline. It melts on contact. To increase the viscosity (make it thicker), just keep adding more Styrofoam until its consistency is to your liking. This concludes today’s episode of Mr. Wizard’s World.
