<b>You can say 2+2 = 5 doesn't make it true though.</b>

Exactly my point. You can say a MK77-5 weapon contains "fuel gel" not napalm, but that doesn't make it true, or honest.

I think napalm differs from nitro in that it has a specific antipersonnel and psychological application. The point is to burn the enemy to death by coating them with sticky flaming gelatine, terrorize them, and scare them with the smell. I can't think of a comparable weapon except for biological and chemical weapons such as VX gas and mustard gas. In the article the armed forces representatives admit that.

I fully realize that napalm is not a chemical weapon under the UN convention. I feel that it is categorized that way just due to a technicality, and that it properly should be considered one.

Again, my opinion, yours obviously differs.
