Napalm In Vietnam War

So that is why we had to never use it again because it affected our men as well the vietnamese.

On the 8th of June 1972, photographer ‘Nick Ut’ took an iconic photo of a group of young kids running away helplessly as soldiers escorted them out of the danger zone, (the danger zone was an explosion of napalm that burnt and basically disintegrates everything). Early that day Nick heard that there was fighting happening in North Vietnam near the occupied village of Trang Bang. He stopped on the nearby bridge with other soldiers and journalists. It was around 1pm when a south Vietnamese plane dipped down aligned with the highway and dropped the napalm bomb on the village, which turned out to be an accident. As thick black smoke filled the air, emerging from it was multiple civilians crying and screaming as burnt flesh fell off their fragile

The flamethrower was first used by German soldier in WW1, although this weapon was quickly adopted by the Allied after they discovered its destructive powers. Flamethrowers could set fire to objects by launching burning fuel, which enabled its user to cause widespread destruction. Despite its success as a weapon, the flamethrowers used during WWI tended to be dangerous to operate, as the fuel canisters were known to randomly explode, and expensive. However, flamethrowers were extremely effective in short-range and could sustain flames that reached 18 meters for up to 40 seconds. German soldiers launched a total of 650 flamethrower attacks during WW1, which is expected to be much larger than the number for the Allied forces. Beginning during

Having your skin burn and melt off the bones and then your throat could become so swollen and blistered from breathing in hot air and fumes that you would be unable to take in any more oxygen this is what being burned alive is like. The Flamethrower, metal cylinder tanks used to hold fuel and hose like tubes that would push the fluid through and out through the spought at the tip of the tube. The chemistry of my weapon is the fact that the cylinder tanks have utilized nitrogen inside used as fuel for the fire. Flamethrowers were intended to burn things down, and also to make enemy lines back down and to make it easier to invade territory. Used in WW1 from the years 1914 to 1918. It was tested in 1900 but not fully developed until 1911. The flamethrower played a big role in WWI, in favor for the germans. Used in the first line of soldiers to push enemy lines back and make easier to invade their land. The flamethrower was in the favor of the Germans in WWI, the Germans launched around 650 flamethrower attacks in WWI.

The Vietnam War was the longest war has the longest US combat force participation (17.4 years). People do say that we never should've fought in this war.

Agent Orange was a powerful herbicide used in the Vietnam war. It was used to kill off the jungle and crops. The jungle allowed the Vietcong to hide and the crops feed the enemy. Agent Orange got its name from the Orange label on the drums of herbicide.   Agent Orange was two herbicides combined 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T. It was mixed at 50 times the concentration that would have been by used US farmers. The herbicide 2,4,5-T contained dioxin.

The first issue about napalm strike in vietnam on innocent villages.When napalm hits the ground it goes everywhere in a center radius and whatever it lands on catches on fire men, women and children where badly burned from these strikes.The second issue is Agent Orange a chemical that was used by the U.S. in the Vietnam War to destroy the jungle so that the United States Army could see the traps and where the enemy was hiding.The U.S. didn’t think that the chemical would travel in the air for miles and end up going into other none fighting bordering countries.This made for a bad look on the U.S. part for not knowing this before.The last issue I have with the Vietnam War is the cover up of them going into villages and just murdering the whole

There have been many wars throughout American history and millions of lives have been lost fighting for the land of the free. On November 1st, 1955, one of the most controversial wars in American history began; the Vietnam War. The politics behind the Vietnam War are very in-depth and important, but the issues being addressed now are based on the weapons used during the war and how they affected veterans; more specifically, the weapon is one that had more long-term effects and did not kill the enemy at the point-blank exposure. The U.S. created a newer chemical weapon known as Agent Orange. Agent Orange is a very lethal and harmful chemical that the U.S. used on the Viet Cong to try to weaken them by depriving their food source and cover. Now, over five decades after the war, veterans from both sides are still being greatly affected by this war tactic and the goal is to understand more about the human effects during and after the war.

The United States entered this Vietnam war overpowering the Vietnamese, and made a huge mistake with Agent Orange. Vietnam was caused by various things. North Vietnamese and Viet Cong wished to overthrow the South Vietnamese government. The North Vietnamese wanted to reunite their country and would do it at any cost. The U.S supported the South Vietnamese a hundred percent.(www.cnn.com) Vietnam war did not directly involve the United States, we chose to help the South Vietnamese.

The aftermath of the Vietnam War was not what many soldiers expected and this greatly impacted the lives of all involved. Their service wasn’t acknowledged like other war veterans and instead, they were viewed with distrust and anger and used as scapegoats for the travesties of the war they were forced to fight in. Despite the returned soldiers efforts to return back to civilian life, they found no support from the government, or elsewhere. This caused soldiers to develop many mental illnesses that continued to affect and impact their lives. They also experienced symptoms of Agent Orange, causing fatalities and health defects.

The 1960’s and 70’s were filled with turbulent changes. The US was still reeling from containment and its domino policy, leading it to believe that it had the right to exercise influence in foreign affair. One foreign affair was known as Vietnam. The Vietnam War was the longest war in the nation’s history. This war, from both abroad and at home, drastically changed the society of America, socially, economically, and politically. It caused for much anti-war sentiment and fueled the counter culture movement, it caused inflation and contributed to the stagflation, and brought down Johnson’s reputation and caused for several changes in legislation.

Today were are going to talk about the Hydrogen Bomb.The Hydrogen bomb was the big bomb that Russia and U.S.A So what was the H-bomb about ?

The controversy and dangers posed by flamethrowers have led to calls for the weapon to be banned in international treaties. However, to date, there are no treaties that explicitly ban the use of the weapon in combat. The U.S. is one of the few countries to voluntarily discontinue use of flamethrowers. The weapon has proven popular with terrorist organizations ranging from Al Qaeda to the Irish Republican Army.” (https://www.thebalance.com/flamethrowers-one-of-the-most-controversial-weapons-3345070)

Gunpowder single handedly changed the world. What once started as fireworks, would eventually become the greatest aspect of warfare known to man. It was first used by the Chinese, as colorful displays of fire in the sky, but under the rule of the Ming and Ching it became a feared machine of war. Although the effects of gunpowder were mainly positive, there are still some major disadvantages.

Frist of all, in the Second Battle of Ypres, the Germans introduced the first use of poisonous gas. When poison gas first introduced it was a popular weapon choice and would be the weapon to change the outcome of the war. The Germans surprisingly attack the Allies, where the used lethal chloride gas against them. The gas was deadly and killed over one thousand soldiers. (1) It also allowed a significant advanced for the Germans in the war. The gas usage continued to grow throughout the war. In the end, many Allied countries started chemical weapons research. Gas warfare became common but effective actions were used to protect the troops. After World War 1, poison was use for a while but in today’s war it is no longer allowed. Instead of poisonous gas, chemical warfare is used. Chemical weapons come in a variety of forms and are used for several different techniques.
