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?

My family lived in the Canadian Camp Gagetown area when they tested Agent Orange in the woods there. A lot of the particles blew back into their community. Years later, the government admitted to this fact and settled with anyone who could prove they lived in the area at the time, and had any one of the litany of possible medical issues. My whole family each got $20,000. Keep in mind, that they lived miles away from the actual spraying, and we still had residual effects. Scary stuff.
