US troops retaliated with firepower. Just one NVA or VC popping off a few rounds at GIs could bring in artillery, naval artillery, helicopter gunships, and jet strikes. Not to mention tanks and ACAVs on the ground supporting the grunts.
In South Vietnam, men fighting on the ground "requested air strikes." The "air strikes" simply supplement the artillery. In NORTH Vietnam, the air strikes were strategic in nature; not directly supporting the fighting men on the ground, but striking at oil targets, railroads, storage facilities, troop barracks, bridges, etc.
They terrified soldiers and if accurate killed and wounded many. D-Day could not have succeeded without heavy naval gunfire. Many Germans have written about how it disoriented them.
not artillery
Danger close means that you're within range as to where the ordinance can harm friendly personnel. It applies to all supporting fires - air strikes, artillery, etc.
