Incendiaries create burns that are difficult to treat I think I've spotted an ugly trend in our military. It seems they're useing high explosives that tend to cause wounds that are next to impossibe to heal....assuming your can find the victim.

Good psychological deterrent to folks that wrap their heads in flammable material.

the firebombs use kerosene-based jet fuelA dollop of bacon grease would have been a nice touch, too.

I suppose they could have dropped Hillary's pantsuit on them but she was too busy using them.That would have been a definite war crime.

This is the lead headline/article on the "Common Dreams" (whingy, lefty alert!)web site this afternoon.
These guys just can't get over Viet Nam. I guess it's preferred in their world to kill the enemy with blast, concussion, fragmentation, or some other lethal medium.

Next, they'll be trying to ban conventional bombs because they can cause burns when they explode. When we switch to non-exploding bombs, they'll be complaining about the blunt force trauma caused by getting hit on the head by one of them. Then we'll have to get rid of bombs altogether and drop cotton balls on our enemies. Course, then they'll complain that little animals might choke on those. It just never ends.

"You can call it something other than napalm, but it's napalm," said John Pike, defense analyst with GlobalSecurity.com, a nonpartisan research group in Alexandria, Va. No way is John Pike nonpartisan. He's a leftist. He tries to mask it on FoxNews but he can't with me. I know him from covering NASA and the space program. Then I wonder, when has anyone had to mention that their group is "nonpartisan?" John Pike has NEVER voted for a Republican....and I'll eat my words if he has.

I suppose they could have dropped Hillary's pantsuit on them but she was too busy using them. Besides, the seat portion of the pants would have destroyed the bridge, the river, and all arable land within 50 miles...
