Yes, we burned the enemy to death with flaming chemicals. But please don't make any comparison to the Nazis, since this is really more like Vietnam.
"Phosphorus burns on the skin are deep and painful... These weapons are particularly nasty because white phosphorus continues to burn until it disappears... it could burn right down to the bone."You read it here first.
