Napalm is one technoscience that supports the military. Napalm in lamest terms is a jelly form of gasoline, which can be sprayed on or bombed on enemy land. It is an extremely cheap and efficient weapon, which can be used in large doses. Napalm consumes and burns enemy crops and infantry with a high tolerance to water so it cannot be doused easily. Napalm was one of the main weapons used in World War II.
Napalm is a catalyst to the military because of its power and efficiency. It allows the user to neutralize any land that enemies inhabit allowing for easy destruction. Napalm could be shot from a plane allowing for minimal casualties from the side using it. In some cases during WWII, enemies would surrender upon seeing planes that use napalm where they usually would stand and fight allowing for quick and easy victory. Napalm is cheap, which means minimal costs for production.
Napalm is a corrosion to the military because of several reasons. It is a highly flammable substance that is easily ignited by accident. Napalm also is an extremely inhumane method of killing, which leaves terrible burns for any who survive its flame. Pictures of napalm victims seen by American citizens reduced support of such a hostile weapon. The use of napalm by opposing forces was a large killer and if it were shot at a base supplying napalm would set it off and would have catastrophic consequences. Also once napalm is ignited, it is difficult to stop the fire and spread of it. Because of Napalms inexpensive nature, it is easy to manufacture by anyone who pleases creating more threats to the military.
