White phosphorus and napalm are not one and the same, their chemical composition and function are different. Napalm is a mixture of a volatile (petrol or diesel fuel) and a gelling agent, it was deployed by plane to indiscriminately clear out large swathes of land. White phosphorous munitions are, well, white phosphorus. While they *can* be deployed somewhat like napalm, more modern munitions were specifically designed for tactical uses like bunker or tank busting. They’d penetrate otherwise impenetrable armor plating/obstacles and burn the crew. As far as munitions regulation is concerned, I think we both agree that it’s necessary - that sadly means that not everyone will play fair and honourable, but I’d rather be the “good guy” in any conflict, a sentiment not always shared by fellow gun enthusiasts. I simply figured that I’d mention that those games aren’t in use, and haven’t been in use for a very long time.
Edit: Had a quick look at that 2003 case and, technically speaking, they used “Napalm 2.0”. The bomb used kerosene instead and was mostly deployed for its psychological effect - the smell of napalm. Still, the weapon type was banned, so they should get bonked a bit for that.
