Really? Where? in the Gulf War. I've seen TV pictures of it being deployed over southern Kuwait to crush the underground facilites and trenchworks. They mentioned in passing that it consumes all the oxygen too. --cfl@suckedtheoxygenoutofmyportfoliothismonth.com

LB, the FAB has been used in the liberation of kuwait...and elsewhere. it seems to me to be in the progression of fire weapons going back to pouring hot burning tar on soldiers storming wall defenses, progressing to the flame fougasse devices, followed by flame throwers and napalm. fire has always been a major war weapon. in addition to the above, other heat and burn inflicting weapons include... thermite devices. i.e., thermite grenades and sheets. a wide variety of incendiary devices. i.e., white phosphorous, etc. all explosives...flame weapons are considered low order or conflagration level explosives but high order explosives like TNT and plastic also produce extreme heat and burns. nuclear devices. the ultimate heat and flame weapon. a wide variety of chemical weapons produce burn casualties. i.e., mustard gas. we need labels because like cigarettes, war may be hazardous to your health. uw
