“We should have carpet-bombed Hanoi with firebombs in 1969. Given it the full Dresden.”

Nixon said he had “a secret plan” to end the war when he was running in 1968. Turned out to be a lot of nothing. If Nixon had some Trump in him he would have used your idea and that war would have ended in a month.

The 1972 Operation Linebacker II scared the hell out the Hanoi regime and it wasn’t close to a Dresden/Tokyo firebombing.

That's a myth, an urban legend.
