== == * Napalm is a powdered aluminum soap or similar compound used to Gelatin oil or gasoline for use in napalm bombs or flame throwers, or the resultant gelatinous substance. Napalm was developed by the U.S. in World War II by a team of Harvard chemists led by Louis Fieser.
== == * Napalm was not invented by the U.S., and not in WW2, it was first made under then name Greek Fire during the 600's. It is a petrol fuel thickened many different ways. Styrofoam has the same properties as many chemicals that are added. See link: http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761564351/napalm.html
Napalm is a form of jellied fuel used as a military weapon. It is flammable, and like a thin jelly, sticks to anything it splashes against. When ignited, it sets things it has splashed against on fire. It was used as a fuel in flamethrowers and as aerial bombs.
napalm was used in Germany and japan, vietnam, and Korea. napalm was not used in enduring freedom or in modern warfare due to being to lethal and inflicting unnecessary punishment on civilian who would come into contact with napalm
Napalm was Used in the increased American air strikes on communist forces throughout Vietnam.
because it uses a weapon called a napalm bomb. napalm is basically gelled gasoline and is very sticky.
The actual type of napalm used during the Vietnam War is not being used. A derivative is currently within the US inventory; and can be deployed in accordance with the guidelines placed upon it by the UN Convention of 1980.
Napalm is a mixture of a thickening gelling agent and petroleum or a similar fuel for use in an incendiary device. It consist on polystyrene (46 parts), gasoline (33 parts) and benzene (21 parts). Napalm was first developed in 1942 by Harvard researchers cooperating with the U.S. army and used in bombs and flame throwers by mixing a powdered aluminum soap of naphthalene with palpitate (hence napalm). No one is claiming credit for the development of napalm.

No, napalm and Agent Orange are not the same thing. Napalm is a flammable liquid used in warfare to create fire, while Agent Orange is a herbicide used during the Vietnam War to clear vegetation. Both were used by the United States military in Vietnam, but they serve different purposes.
Napalm fires are typically extinguished by smothering the flames with sand, foam, or a fire-retardant chemical agent. Water may spread the napalm fire due to its flammable properties, so it is not recommended for extinguishing napalm fires. Additionally, professional firefighters with appropriate protective gear are needed to handle napalm fires safely.

Napalm Records was created in 1992.
