President Johnson implemented a bombing campaign known as Operation Rolling Thunder to try to cripple North Vietnam's military and industrial capabilities. He also attempted to stop North Vietnam from sending supplies and troops to the guerrillas in South Vietnam through a policy called interdiction, which involved targeting supply routes and infiltration routes along the Ho Chi Minh trail. Additionally, he authorized the deployment of ground combat troops to South Vietnam to counter the guerrilla forces.

Bombing them into submission. Making them accept our terms. Making them want to negotiate.

Lyndon Johnson :) hope I helped!!!! Have a good day!
Johnson was given the reason he needed to order bombing raids on North Vietnam. As president and commander-in-chief he would have been seen as a weak leader if he had not, but still some thought that it was the wrong choice. -

The easy and often repeated belief. US troops had been in RVN (Republic of South Vietnam) before Johnson (LBJ) was president; before his former boss JFK (Kennedy) was president. US servicemen were being killed in battle in South Vietnam long before LBJ took office in Washington. The Johnson administration commenced open war (via the Tonkin Gulf Resolution) with North Vietnam in August 1964. No other US president prior to LBJ conducted open hostilities with North Vietnam. Open hostilities=Open aerial bombing/bombing campaigns (Operation Rolling Thunder, etc.).
