The United States has only used nuclear missiles in military actions in one war, World War Two against the Empire of Japan on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The United States has not used nuclear arms in any conflict, they aren't wars we have not issued a declaration of war or had one declared against us since world war two, due to the assumed consequences of using one. In Korea had we used a nuclear missile against the North Korean's and their Chinese allies, Russia and possibly china, i don't recall when they first acquired nuclear arms at this time, would have used them against us. Same for Vietnam, had we used nuclear arms the enemy would have retaliated and all hell broken loose. Basically: Mutually Assured Destruction.

When year was it when Vietnam agreed not to hit the US with a Nuclear bomb?
LBJ and General Westmoreland did discuss the use of nuclear weapons for use in the Vietnam War, but LBJ ultimately instructed his subordinates to drop the matter and not to bring up the issue of nukes again. This issue had also surfaced during the Korean War and General MacArthur got sacked for it (among other reasons). Note: Only Russia (USSR) & Red China on the communist side had atomic weapons during the Vietnam War. Vietnam never agreed not to hit the US with an atomic bomb because 1) Vietnam has never had any nuclear weapons of any type, 2) Vietnam has no delivery system to send such weapons outside its own border.
