"Operation Linebacker" was a significant military campaign conducted by the United States during the Vietnam War. It took place from May to October 1972 and aimed to disrupt the supply lines of the North Vietnamese Army and weaken their ability to wage war. The operation involved extensive bombing raids over North Vietnam, targeting key infrastructure such as bridges, railroads, and supply depots. The campaign marked a shift in U.S. strategy, moving from a focus on ground troops to heavy aerial bombardment. Despite its intensity, "Operation Linebacker" faced criticism for its impact on civilians and the environment. Ultimately, it played a role in bringing the parties back to the negotiating table for peace talks.
