what was the group Rolling thunder about?
Operation Rolling Thunder was a frequently interrupted bombing campaign that began on March 2, 1965 and lasted until the end of October 1968. During this period U.S. Air Force and Navy aircraft engaged in a bombing campaign designed to force North Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh to abandon his ambition to take over South Vietnam.
The operation began primarily as a diplomatic signal to impress Hanoi with America’s determination, essentially a warning that the violence would escalate until the North Vietnamese took notice, and secondly it was intended to bolster the sagging morale of the South Vietnamese.
