Why?
Lee, behind your responses is the implication that this was a fair matchup, and that our forces were beleagured and needed to resort to terror weapons to win. That's insulting to our soldiers, and untrue. We went in with such an overwhelming advantage that our guys could choose their battles and choose their weapons. They didn't need to choose napalm. They could have acted consistently with the doctrine sold to the public, of restraint and precision. Napalm is neither restrained nor precise. It's a weapon of indiscriminate mass destruction.
I love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning. Smells just like napalm.
