Napalm vs. phosphorous

I submitted a correction for the "Trivia" section but it was rejected. Here is my correction:

Original Quote: "The phosphor that is frequently referred to in the film is actually napalm".imdb.markdown.token.ParagraphTokenWRONG!


"Phosphorous is phosphorous; napalm is napalm. The difference: phosphorous is a chemical that can easily be weaponized into artillery/tank shells and even hand grenades; albeit slightly taller than they typical "baseball" type of US grenades. Napalm is jellied aviation gasoline that is typically dropped from an aircraft and for the most part has been stricken from the US inventory after the Vietnam War. Israel probably used napalm when attacking troop concentrations in 1956 and 1967 but it can't proved, other than a Wikipedia quote. Napalm has never been weaponized for tank and artillery use, other than as a flame-thrower ingredient. As for Israel using phosphorous, er, um, "exploding smoke", see the comment in the discussion boards for this movie".
