Boeing B-52 Stratofortress Long-range Bomber, Vietnam

Although built for the role of Cold War-era nuclear deterrence, its conventional capabilities now take priority. The aircraft has the longest range of any bomber and carries a heavy strategic or tactical weapons load.

Well, actually the christmas 72 bombings did help. The 52 was finally deployed for strategic bombing. The results were that we got our POW pilots back and our involvement in the war mostly ended. Ask John McCain what he thinks of the B52. Only reason he got to come home and get a chance to run for president was because of the b52.

Well that´s some kind of sarcasm. Impressive Footage, but yes, you can´t win a war by bombing a country back to the stone age. It wasn´t the bombing runs which made an end to World War 2

and so it didn´t really help to bomb North Vietnam. 5*

@jers59 I'm very sorry but this is so, they fell helplessly, like burnt moths and it was scary. I can imagine how hard it is for you to hear the bitter truth, but your Zionist government has never confessed and would not tell you about it.

@BigPuschlerX Actually it was bombing that ended the second world war. Anyone happen to remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki? As many people would say violence doesn't end war... I say, 'Sadly, you are ignorant and mistaken. War is started and ended in violence, hence the name "War"'. So 'Big' try to be a little less ignorant, not that I think bombings are great...

In an episode of Top Gear (English program) where they are going to go to Vietnam from south to north of Vietnam, met a poor man, who in 68, lost his hearing due to a bombing of a B-25
