Napalm:
Napalm is liquid that is extremely flammable. It is made from a mixture of a gel and gasoline. Napalm has been used in World War 2, but became famous in the Vietnam War. It was first used as a weapon against buildings, but later it became a weapon against other soldiers. Napalm was very effective against people, because it sticks to the skin and causes extreme burn wounds. Napalm is quite an inhumane weapon. When napalm was created in World War 2, it was used in flamethrowers. Later in World War 2, Napalm was put into bombs, which were dropped on targets. The U.S. Army used Napalm, because it was very effective against the enemy soldiers. But they also used it against common people sometimes, which is not a good thing. Today Napalm is banned from being used on the common people, but the law does not ban the use on other soldiers.
