1:44:02
this, uh, exercise
of my technical expertise...
1:44:07
never really dawned on me.
1:44:09
That reality of the screams
or the people being blown away...
1:44:15
or their homeland being destroyed,
1:44:19
uh,just was not a part
of what I thought about.
1:44:23

[Crying]
1:44:37
[Propeller Plane Flying Overhead]
1:44:44
[Explosions]
1:44:49
Uh, we, as Americans,
have never experienced that.
1:44:52
We've never experienced
any kind of devastation.
1:44:58
[Crying]
1:45:00
[Floyd] When I was there, I never saw
a child that got burned by napalm.
1:45:08
I didn't drop napalm,
but I dropped other things just as bad.
1:45:11
I dropped C.B.U.s,
1:45:13
which can't destroy anything.
1:45:15
It's meant for people.
It's an antipersonnel weapon.
1:45:18
We used to drop canister upon canister
of these things...
1:45:20
with 200 tumbling little balls in there
about this big around...
1:45:25
with something like
600 pellets in each ball...
1:45:27
that would blow out
as soon as it hit the ground,
1:45:30
uh, and shred people to pieces.
1:45:32
They couldn't be gotten out
in many cases.
1:45:34
People would suffer. They would live,
but they would suffer, you know?
1:45:38
Then often they would die afterwards.
1:45:40
This would cause people
to have to take care of them, you know?
1:45:44
But I look at my children now...
1:45:47
and, uh,
1:45:50
I don't know
what would happen if, uh--
1:45:53
uh, what I would think about
if someone napalmed them.
