He is lacking knowledge about most things so he just makes them up as he goes along and his stupid staff just agrees with him.

To be brutally honest, neither is correct. Napalm was incindigel with white phosphorus in the mix, difficult to mix at the unit level and outlawed by the Geneva convention. We used a mixture of JP-4 and high phosphate detergent with a white phosphorus fuse element. WWII was the last use of real napalm. (I was in the AF during Vietnam in munitions). Ground forces and many non-munitions types had little idea and continued using the term napalm since it was easier to say and required less explaination than incindigel.

I appreciate hearing from a person who was there

@Brascan The man wouldn't know a fact if it bit him in the ass, he just doesn't like to be corrected or do anything that remotely resembles work. Cadet bonespurs should be put out to pasture, preferably one with high walls and electric gates.
