How successful was bombing in the Vietnam war?

Answer 1

Success: An exposure of an Eastern (Oriental) peoples to a Western (Occidental) people's cultures, traditions, trade practices, and commercialism that assisted them in competing in the 21st Century's world of trade & commercialism. Failures: The loss of a free Republic of South Vietnam to a Communist system government.

Answer 2

Three times as many bombs were dropped in Vietnam than all the US bombing of WWII. Aerial bombing in the Viet War was successful; men on the ground in South Vietnam preferred jet strikes over helicopter gunship strikes (support) because they were more devastating. Jets cratered the landscape and made the enemy go up in smoke (couldn't find their remains other than a AK barrel or part of one their helmets, etc.), whereas a chopper's rocket attack (2.75 inch)or mini-gun (7.62mm NATO) attack caused nothing but destroyed tree leafs and tree branches, and the enemy usually disappeared either under ground or out of the strike zone.

Chopper's look great on television's military & history channel, but in Vietnam, jet strikes did the trick!

The ONLY weapon the NVA feared more than anything on earth (other than an atomic weapon strike) was the B52 Stratofortress heavy bomber. This weapon system saved Khe Sanh from being over run in 1968. The B52 was the ultimate air strike weapon (known as Arc Light in the Viet War).

Answer 3

Because the communists won the war.
