Before #Oppenheimer's A-bomb, there was napalm #shorts

when Napalm was first developed in a

chemistry lab at Harvard University for

the express purpose of burning Japanese

cities because Japanese cities were

tinderboxes cities made of wood it was

tested in the Utah desert on a replica

Japanese village and they launched

Napalm raids on those houses and sat and

observed and took notes on their

stopwatches noted how long it took for a

firestorm to reduce those buildings to

Rubble there was nothing about these

attacks on Japan that came as a surprise

to the military leadership

we set a torch to every single major

city in Japan that Summer with the

exception of Two Cities

Nagasaki and Hiroshima which we decided

to drop a atomic bomb on it

s scale of Destruction

almost unmatched in human history
