Project Rolling Thunder

Project Rolling Thunder was a sustained bombing campaign conducted by the United States during the Vietnam War from 1965 to 1968. Its purpose was to weaken North Vietnam's ability to support forces in the South and to boost morale among South Vietnamese allies. The campaign involved extensive air attacks on supply lines, military targets, and infrastructure. However, it faced criticism for its limited effectiveness and the high civilian casualties it caused, leading to increasing opposition to the war both domestically and internationally. Ultimately, Rolling Thunder did not achieve its strategic objectives and contributed to the US's challenges in Vietnam.
