The USAF & USN bombed N. Vietnam. The USMC flew combat missions in support of Marines in SOUTH Vietnam. US Warships stationed off the coast of NORTH Vietnam were operating in "Yankee Station." US Warships stationed off the coast of SOUTH Vietnam were designated "Dixie Station."
Johnson was given the reason he needed to order bombing raids on North Vietnam. As president and commander-in-chief he would have been seen as a weak leader if he had not, but still some thought that it was the wrong choice. -
Richard Nixon promised the nation 'peace with honor' in Vietnam. He increased the size of the war considerably by (completely illegal) bombing in Cambodia without the approval of Congress. He approved large-scale bombing raids against the major cities of North Vietnam. His Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, reached a peace deal with the leaders of North Vietnam and America troops were pulled out of Southeast Asia. About 25,000 American servicemen and women were killed in Vietnam and Cambodia during the Nixon years.
