Vietnam War bombings

During the Vietnam War, extensive bombing campaigns were carried out mainly by the United States to weaken North Vietnamese forces and infrastructure. The bombings targeted roads, bridges, factories, and military sites, often causing widespread destruction and civilian casualties. Notably, operations like Operation Rolling Thunder and the use of napalm and Agent Orange aimed to disrupt enemy supply lines and diminish their ability to fight. These strategies were controversial due to their scale and the impact on civilians and the environment, highlighting the war's complex humanitarian and strategic challenges.
