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!

∙ 9y agoIt was not the Ho Chi Minh trail, but North Vietnam that President Johnson prevented most attacks against. North Vietnam was the source of what traveled down the trail into South Vietnam. President Johnson was essentially tying the hands of the US military in its conduct of the war.
