I can see it on a battlefield

but not in an urban combat environment

You would hope in fact this would not be true but does it really surprise you if in fact it is true?

Now days we really don’t know what types of things they are using either in combat or within our own streets?

by the way

willie pete <=> white phosphorus

21st century napalm

Israel has previously used "Willie Pete" on the Lebanese people in its 2006 war there. Israel and the US haven't signed the third protocol of the Geneva Convention on Conventional weapons which restricts the use of these weapons.

"If particles of ignited white phosphorus land on a person's skin, they burn right through flesh to the bone. Toxic phosphoric acid can also be released into wounds, risking phosphorus poisoning.

Exposure to white phosphorus smoke in the air can also cause liver, kidney, heart, lung and bone damage and can even lead to death."

Some pretty bad stuff so why have the US not signed restricting such use? Makes you wonder.......

the Geneva Convention states that WP is not to be used on people

The Israeli's claim they are using it for cover for their vehicles and are not purposely targeting humans

that's what they say

ruthless attacks deserve ruthless counter attacks

it is used mainly on armoured vehicles......and is really not the same as napalm.
I spent 14yrs...army.....and I will only say this....
they are a target.....Im trying to kill them.
I dont want to make nice or have tea.....I am using deadly force. ***The minimum amount of force needed to complete the mission***

please dont tie my hands behind my back....send me cookies and say you support me!!!!

the soldiers wanna be home to!!!!


JMO....not lookin for a reply....

yeah I can see using it on an open battlefield against massed troops

just not in a city combat type theater

ok it is not distributed the same as napalm.....
a 20mm round is a wp round it is fired into vehicles.
the bradleyfv is equipped to fire these ap, and a tow missle.

napalm is cloud burst.....not the same thing!!!

Same here as far as I'm concerned as far as our Military if we are going to fight a War lets get in and out as quick as we can. There is no sense in dragging it on for 3 + years

I might not back war but I will always back our Troops!!

Some might want to watch this but it might be disturbing to some.

It does show how it was used and what happens when it is used.
