Napalm
August 13, 2018
Napalm caused more destruction in Japan than the atomic bombs—and it was much cheaper. And what country is the greatest user of napalm? Why, of course, it is the exceptional nation, the city on a hill, the land of the free, God blessed America. But it is not the U.S. government who used the napalm. It was always used by individual U.S. soldiers willing to terrorize, burn, and kill for the state. And people wonder why I constantly harp on the responsibility of individual soldiers.
