Why did the US stop using napalm in the Vietnam war?
I'm doing an assignment on this, and the "Napalm Girl" image, which depicts a 9 year old girl who'd been hit by a napalm strike and suffered third degree burns to roughly half of her body. The picture was famous for showing people some horrors of the Vietnamese War. I'm led to believe that that image and the public's reaction to it caused the prohibition of Napalm use.
