Nixon resumed bombing of North Vietnam to instill a threat upon the North Vietnamese. He removed the troops and increased bombings leaving the North Vietnamese to believe only one thing... that he was going to drop an atomic bomb. Nixon nor any U.S. president would drop an atomic bomb threatening the lives of U.S. troops. Therefore, by bombing North Vietnam, he was able to continue to fight against the North Vietnamese without using his ground troops.
