[PROCON]

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.

Yes it was/is. One had to have big balls of steel to be a flame thrower operator - at least as I see it. Walking out there in the open, mostly, and one good hit could like you up like the Macy’s Christmas tree.
