Re: Napalm
Hi Tom--Your right-In the begining when we went on night patrol,when you
fired the napalm into the trench lines,and then ran like hell,the only
trouble with that was tit was hard to put the flameout in the nozzle,I used
to draw enemy fire,most times small mortar fire.We started firing the napalm
without firing the matches in the nozzel and then threw in a phosphorus
granade to ignite it,that at least gave me a head start on the small arms
and mortar fire,but my luck ran out,got hit and was out of action for 8
weeks,when I returned I became a sniper,another job without health
insurance.

Made you a top priority target, too, I bet!
