"The Canadian Army Infantry role "is to close with and destroy the enemy" [4][5]
The Australian Army defines the role of the infantry thus: "The role of the Infantry is to seek out and close with the enemy, to kill or capture him, to seize or hold ground and repel attack, by day or night, regardless of season, weather or terrain."[6]
The United States Army describes the mission of infantry: "The Infantry closes with the enemy by means of fire and maneuver in order to destroy or capture him or to repel his assault by fire, close combat, and counterattack."{FM7-8, Infantry Rifle Platoon And Squad}
The infantry mission is "to close with and engage the enemy in all operational theatres and environments in order to bring about his defeat"[citation needed]
The US Marines role is to Locate, close with and destroy the enemy with fire and maneuver."


Use any legal method, of which Napalm is one.


Do those who are in the negative on here mean you would get choosy about what ordinance you choose to drop from your aircraft ?

Doesn't DU ordnance also leave a legacy on survivors ?

What about Fuel air bombs ? They are a fire ball like napalm ?
