I looked up the us policies on napalm and I found out that the military is still allowed to use it. The 1980 Protocol III of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons says that civilians may not be made the object of attack with incendiary weapons. The catch is that defended places are permissible objects of attack. If a city or town is part of that area it will be considered fair game. "The loss of life and damage to property incidental to attacks must not be excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage expected to be gained".

She lives in America after she got hit with Americas Napalm? Wonder at her reasoning.

What an amazing story. I always see pictures of war, especially victims, and wonder what happened to them. I'm glad to see she had a second chance at life.

I feel the exact same as Sara. The whole story is so touching. It's terrible that for the longest time that picture seemed to ruin her life, but now she sees the photo as opportunity for her and that's incredible. Thanks for posting what happened to her, it was really interesting to read about

Yeah, I agree it was fascinating. It's sad how much the suffering continues long after the war is over, its effects are still being felt which we often forget, or choose not to remember. But I'm glad this story had a happy ending and there were people who helped her along the way.

I wonder if that means she became a Christian- this is super fascinating and an amazing story of this woman. I'm glad she found normalcy.

She went trough many obstacles,but I'm glad she is now doing better,its shocking to think how much she's been through and that is only one story of many who were victoms of war.

She got education in Cuba? I'm glad she defected. I wonder what her opinion regarding the war was or what her thought are about post-war vietnamese government.
I really sucks that we couldn't use Napalm more accurately. If winning the hearts and minds of citizens is important in a civil war, I wonder if Napalm really did the US any good.

I am really glad to know the rest of the girls story. I had no idea she was still alive. I am glad she found a way to use her fame from being photographed to follow her passion.

Aw I'm so glad she found someone to love her despite her scars and everything. I can't even imagine being in so much pain as a child that I would pass out. That must have been so terrible for her. Just imagine, this is just one of the the many war victims. I wonder how many (if any) other stories are like this. This is a prime example of how someone can turn a hellish situation into something good and productive.
