Reply #18: Willy Pete is even worse than Napalm

[Toots]

If someone is saying it is only white phosphorous (willy pete) then they don't know what they are talking about. It is considered just as bad as gas and it's usage has been banned. At least during the Vietnam Conflict there was an excuse for napalm. It was triple canapy jungle that protected the enemy and without spraying poison which we also did (agent orange) the best way was to burn it quick. All napalm attacks I ever witnessed were in dense jungle. Willy Pete on the other hand was used to spot with and it was a banned substance over three decades ago. It would burn right through a person with no way of putting it out. The only way was to dig it out of your body because it would continue to burn even under water.
