They Had 4 Minutes to Live | Military History Talks

In World War II, the most dangerous job wasn't infantry.
It wasn't a pilot.
It was a flamethrower operator.
Average life expectancy in combat: 4 minutes.
The tank on their back held 4 gallons of napalm.
One bullet and they exploded.
The enemy shot them first.
Always.
At Iwo Jima, 92% of flamethrower operators were killed or wounded.
They knew the odds.
They carried them anyway.
When they attacked a bunker, they walked straight into enemy fire.
No cover. No protection.
Just a tank full of fire on their back.
4 minutes.
That's all they had.
Most didn't make it.
The ones who did never forgot the smell.
Or the screams.
4 minutes to live.
And they volunteered.
