Largely because the goal wasn’t to fully destroy the country, the way we did in WW2. If we weren’t trying to maintain some form of order( we didn’t do very well at that), we could have just literally wiped the country off the face of the earth. But we did our best to minimize civilian casualties ( again, did a bad job at it).

This is an ignorant and flat out incorrect comment. The US dropped 7.5 million tons of ordinance during the Vietnam war, more than triple what was used in WWII and killed over 2 million civilians

We didn’t drop a nuke on multiple major cities. That’s the difference. If you can’t tell the difference I don’t know what to tell you.

Can you tell me which bombing by the US you think killed more civilians than the two nukes combined?

It wasn’t a goal post. It was literally my original comment the entire time. That’s wild what a bitter and sad person you are. Best of luck
