24. White Phosphorus Victim (US)
A widely known speaker on the Christian circuit, Dave Roever was accidentally hit by phosphorus during Viet Nam. See his bio at Promise Keepers (photo after many, many surgeries) http://www.promisekeepers.org/confbios330

I remember that he exploded in flames on the operating table when some pockets of phosphorus embedded in his wounds contacted air.

Yeah, we know what it does & we use it anyway.

I know this is not exactly Napalm, but the effects are the same & handy to have on hand when talking to those who don't so easily see pain unless it's one of ours.
