The objective was to remove cover for guerillas. In WW1 they used
artillery over most of Belgium and much of Northern France to

The original intention for napalm was similar, before they started using
it as an anti-personnel thing.  Problem is that if you want to expose the
HCM trail, you first need to know where it is... and secondly you need to
know where they moved it to after you exposed it.  It turned into a giant
