Let 'em wear themselves out. Napalm.

Obsolete. That's Frantan now. Like the earlier gasoline-based incendiary, easy enough to support in the field back when gasoline had to be supplied for vehicle and aircraft engines, but now more difficult to maintain in the field since JP-8 kerosene has replaced mogas as the usual mil-spec fuel.

No problem, frantan includes magnesium and aluminum powder in its composition, as well as liquified gelled styrofoam.
