Answer
Sustained bombing, as advocated by LeMay, involved heavy and continuous air raids aimed at destroying North Vietnamese infrastructure, military capabilities, and economic resources. This approach sought to weaken the enemy's ability to wage war and compel them to negotiate on favorable terms. LeMay's bombing strategy was controversial, raising concerns about civilian casualties and unintended humanitarian consequences, but it showcased a willingness to escalate military action to achieve victory in Vietnam.
