Incendiary devices were widely used during the Vietnam War as part of military strategy by both U.S. forces and the Viet Cong. One of the most notorious examples was the use of napalm, a flammable gel that caused severe burns and destruction upon impact. These devices aimed to clear vegetation, destroy enemy positions, and instill fear, but they also led to significant civilian casualties and long-term environmental damage. The ethical implications of such weapons have sparked ongoing debates about their use in warfare.
