I carried the M2A2 flamethrower when I was a PFC in 1965. Extremely capable weapon - we need them today when we fight battles at close quarters, like Fallujah.

My dad fought in the Pacific during WWII and related that flamethrowers were the only way to get the japs out of their caves or be fried.

Horrific weapon.

Unfortunately, you’re only one shot away from a very horrific death.

Perhaps a binary fuel mix?

Napalm for bombing in Afghanistan..only way to "burn them out"..
We have the "fire"power but DC wants a way to be fought in a humane way...like beheading with a knife.
