How did American soldiers use napalm without harming themselves?

684 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?

They generally dropped it from planes, that said there probably were instances where it hit their own soldiers, friendly fire in Vietnam was a big problem
