President Truman.
USAF General, Curtis LeMay, who stated (referring to North Vietnam & the B-52), and President Nixon nearly did it, "...bomb them back into the stone age..."
US President Nixon believed it was unnecessary to consult the US Congress on his decision to bomb Cambodia during the Vietnam War. His rational was the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. In that case, President Kennedy did not consult with the Congress on his decisions regarding Cuba and the USSR. Nixon claimed that the Vietnam War was in itself a crisis and as Commander in Chief, he could make major policy changes without consulting with Congress.
The US knew better.
That was Henry Truman.
Harry Truman.
Harry S Truman
President Johnson took the war to NORTH Vietnam with aerial warfare. We couldn't invade NORTH Vietnam (without consequences from the communist superpowers), but we could bomb it! We dropped more bombs on North Vietnam than we did in all of WW2! One must bear in mind, that a Vietnam War B-52 could carry 108 bombs. A WW2 bomber could only carry 17 bombs.
During the Vietnam War, a nuclear bomb was found and successfully defused by American special forces.
