President Johnson implemented a bombing campaign known as Operation Rolling Thunder to try to cripple North Vietnam's military and industrial capabilities. He also attempted to stop North Vietnam from sending supplies and troops to the guerrillas in South Vietnam through a policy called interdiction, which involved targeting supply routes and infiltration routes along the Ho Chi Minh trail. Additionally, he authorized the deployment of ground combat troops to South Vietnam to counter the guerrilla forces.

Why did President Johnson refuse attack on North Vietnam's main supply line?
What "main supply line" might that be? 1. Haiphong Harbor? 2. The Ho Chi Minh Trail? 3. Rail & Truck routes leading to and from Red China? All were bombed at one time or another. However restrictions were applied to any areas that Soviet or Red Chinese personnel might be; such as unloading or loading cargo ships at Haiphong Harbor or certain SAM sites where foreign technicians might be. Yes its strange that the US was trying to avoid "killing or wounding" foreigners that were HELPING the enemy during the war, but you must remember, the US did NOT want to provoke a war with the Soviets nor Red Chinese. That card had been played before, in 1950!
