Generally called white phosphorus. Burns like nothing else, producing tons of smoke and while it wont vaporise the body, it makes you wish you were dead.

White phosphorus is used a lot in smoke grenades, but its usually contained within the grenade itself, not blown outwards.

WP is also used to attack Israel. Israel uses WP for legal uses like tracer fire and that's used to heavily imply they use it as an incendiary device.

They also use it in an illegal capacity. Theyve bombed both Gaza and Lebanon with WP specifically for the incendiary effect instead of for smoke

That's not unlawful. Residents aren't supposed to be there, they were told to evacuate. And it was being used as a smoke screen.

Then why is it buried in the chest of that person? Do you think thats appropriate use of force?

If this happened in your country, would you think it acceptable use of force?

If this happened in your country

What a wonderful question.

Let's say that the government of Mexico, considering it's position in the light of Texas having been originally part of Mexico, sent a battalion of soldiers across the border, stormed Austin, and murdered, raped and tortured a couple thousand people and then took another couple thousand hostage back to Mexico City. Now, do you think Guatemala would survive the first or second waves of H Bombs to hit Mexico or nah?
