6 Nov 1950 : Slopes near HAGARU along US Marines retreat to HUNGNAM port. Chinese Communists infiltrated US lines during the night along ridge line, prompting US ground troops to call in aerial close support. A Marine Corsair located in upper middle of smoke cloud, pulling up after dropping its napalm load. Napalm ignited on right, sheet of flame is engulfing towards center of frame as Marines in winter garb looked on. To shore up sagging morale, Marine senior commanders flew into KOTORI and urged the Grunts to hold-fast and not let "a bunch of Chinese laundrymen beat them". Marines on the ground reacted with astonishment that these Senior officers simply did not understand dire gravity of the situation when one is out numbered 8-to-1.

Rollover : Armored bulldozer advanced up to enemy positions for mop-up operations, but this tracker was subsequently hit by enemy bazooka fire and disabled. Thus prompting more Marine air strikes onto vicinity. Since winter camouflage outfits were not available, US Marines wore green winter trench coats and dappled-color camouflage helmets from their WW2 Pacific campaigns.

Napalm is a gasoline jelliton mixture, when exploded the jelliton ignites and spreads flaming paste onto its target. Its tactical and psychological impact can be just as devastating as a carpet bombing. For example, during the same 1950 timeframe in Vietnam, Viet Minh independence forces were combating French Colonial troops for northern city of Hanoi. The French mercilessly pounded the Viet Minh with napalm to an extend that its troop command-and-control structure broke down. Vietnamese cadres attempted to rally its men, only to find some struck with sheer terror, while others ask "Is this the atomic bomb ?". Napalm - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napalm
