to cut off supplies for the Viet Cong
Nixon ordered heavy bombing (Operations Linebacker/Linebacker II) in 1972 to interdict North Vietnamese supply lines and halt their 1972 Easter Offensive — not to end the 1968 Tet Offensive or to retaliate for My Lai. Intimidation was a secondary goal but not the main reason.
