Rolling Thunder III, or better yet, Instant Thunder. If we had resumed mining Hai Phong Harbor, interdicting the Ho Chi Min Trail and hitting selected bridges around Hanoi, the ARVN would have had a fighting chance. Also, we would have had to commit to providing the logistical support the South needed. We did not and the result is entirely predictable.
