"What Kinds of Weapons Do We Drop On Hanoi?" by Fred Branfman, The Washington Post, December 24, 1972
This article details some of the types of weapons the U.S. dropped on North Vietnam during the Vietnam War, many of which were designed to injure rather than kill. It describes bombs like the Rockeye, fragmentation bombs, and even flechettes (tiny darts) that caused serious wounds and were difficult for doctors to treat. The use of these weapons created controversy, as many believed they caused unnecessary suffering and made peace harder to achieve.
