That's on a classified variant called the John Wayne Zippo Lighter Track and it tows a 500 gal Zippo fuel trailer behind it by the towing pintle and connecting hoses. The valve controls are in the turret and the igniter is at the end of a special fuel hose mounted beneath the main gun.
Nah, just pulling your leg the Army doesn't have anymore flamethrowers anymore that I'm aware of. Something about the GHC protocols and making that stuff illegal.

I've been asking myself that very question a lot these days.
It seems that the US Military could use a few thousand good old fashioned flame throwers these days. Especially since we seem to be sooooo concerend that some bad guys might be hiding in caves.
Oh yea, like that's never happened to us before.

Re: flame thrower?
Would white phosphorous rounds followed by some beehive darts suffice?
