Approximate total ALLIED aerial bomb dropping tonnage: 1. WW1- 16,000 tons 2. WWII- 2.7 million tons (US dropped 1,613,000 tons) 3. Korean War-678,000 tons 4. Vietnam War-7.8 million tons

During the Vietnam War, particularly during the "Christmas Bombing" campaign known as Operation Linebacker II in December 1972, an estimated 20,000 tons of bombs were dropped on Hanoi. This intense bombing campaign included the use of B-52 bombers and targeted military and infrastructure sites. The total number of individual bombs is difficult to quantify precisely, but the scale of the bombing was significant and had a devastating impact on the city and its population.
Over 170,000 Hispanic GI's served in the Vietnam War; approximately 3,070 Hispanics died there.

Could have been any number of USAF or USN bomber airmen over North Vietnam. The US dropped more than 3 times as many bombs in Vietnam than they did in all of WWII!

That's probably why the current Viet government restricts tourist travel in the back-country; protection from old ordnance. Just stay where the current government has their tourist routes...and everything should be good. Remember; WWII bombs were dropped all over the world during the war...about 2 1/2 million tons worth. Nearly three times that number of bombs were dropped in Vietnam alone (counting Cambodia/Laos). That's a very heavy concentration of ordnance!
How do you write and say the number 0 in Korean
