Well... lets see how good you feel after being covered in burns... the crying, naked girl was in her home village, and at the time of the napalm attack, was clothed, and that was pretty much the thing that saved her.

The thing wrong here is people not realising stuff like this bound to happen in any war. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
