Mines were the scourge of the Vietnam War. It seemed like everyone and everything was hitting them. Grunts where stepping on "bouncing Bettys", tanks were running over Soviet supplied anti-tank mines, and the US Navy's Swift Boats were getting blasted out of the rivers by floating mines. Land mines, riverine mines, and booby traps (un-conventional type and/or placement) were the bane of the Vietnam war. Once you or your tank hit one, "you got mined."

Why did Nixon resume bombing of north Vietnam and mine the harbors of haiphong and other port?
That day arrived in the spring of 1972, when the North Vietnamese launched a large-scale conventional offensive in South Vietnam's northern provinces. The U.S., claiming that this was an "invasion of South Vietnam" and a "flagrant violation" of the 1968 bombing halt agreement, resumed bombing of North Vietnam and then, when the offensive continued and Hanoi did not agree to U.S. demands, escalated further the bombing and mined the country's principal port.
