Molotov Cocktails were the fanciest contraptions known to kill in Vietnam. That was a lie. In this point of my project, I've resorted to lying. A mixture of alcohols, sometimes gasoline or diesel, there was a rag stuffed in the top of a glass bottle, lit on fire, and thrown. Thus, the fire was spread. Thus, the soldiers were burnt.
