Since the US could NOT use atomic weapons (and doctrine dictated no use of chemical/bio weapons); the US used every other weapon that it had at it's disposal.

Napalm was used as a tactical weapon, often a jet would make a pass with regular HE (in today's jargon: steel bombs or iron bombs; but in the war GI's called the bombs, "HE" for High Explosive), then a pass with naplam, then a pass with rockets and or cannon fire (probably 20mm). River Monitors of the US Navy's Riverine Forces also used flame throwing type weapons as they traversed up and down the rivers. This, in conjunction with their 40mm cannon in the Monitor's forward turret.


What kind of gas was used in the Vietnam War that caused the nervous system to go haywire?

Chemcial warfare "officially" wasn't used in the war. Although lots of CS gas was as well as Foo Gas emplaced around the perimeter of firebases. That gas however was probably just a ground form of naplam; detonated just like a claymore anti-personnel mine. Agent Orange was air dropped over forests (jungles) to destroy them. The agent was a defoliate with the intended purpose of robbing the NVA and VC of cover and consealment (protection from bombs & bullets/protection from visual observation).

What nasty weapon was used widely during the Vietnam war as a fireball dropped from planes?

Just like with the "young generation" of today, the "young generation" of yesterday "got off" on all that "flame". Hollywood loves that stuff! It sells! In Hollywood movies one hand grenade goes up like an atom bomb, destroys more stuff than a B52 bomber! In truth "Naplam" was simply jellied gasoline. It burned initially, then burned itself out. Caused NOWHERE near the destruction of a general purpose H-E bomb (250lb, 500lb, 750lb, and 1,000lb). But the press certainly loved it! Just like today.

What is the difference between made of and made from?

"Made of" and "Made from" can mean the same thing. "That can is made from aluminum." "That can is made of aluminum." However, they can't be used the same in every situation. You can say: "That house is made of wood and made from workers." But you can't say: "That house is made of workers and made from wood."
