I still fondly remember my friend Bob Niederider from high school in the '80s. One day an Army recruiter came to talk to our history class, and at the end he asked if anybody had any questions. Bob raised his hand and said "yeah I have a question: does napalm still stick to kids?" I didn't really appreciate this at the time - and the recruiter certainly didn't, either.

It was basically the scene in Full Metal Jacket where the Marine commander grills Joker about the peace sign and "Born to Kill" on his helmet.
