Hey, what did ur history teacher taught u guys in school ??]You can ask US the reason of why not bomb your airport.
“On this mission, my log shows that the target was Kep Airfield. I lost my DC generator on the tanker and had to turn off my navigation equipment. Don Revers, Pistol Lead, lost his AC generator so Pistol #4, Sam Morgan wound up as mission commander. Bob Elliot was #2 and I was #3. Takhli weather aborted 5 minutes ahead of us and we did also a minute later so there were all sorts of Thuds in a small airspace. Half way through the 180, we were jumped by Mig-21’s. They fired heat seekers—one hit Doug Beyer who was Hatchet #4. He landed safely at Danang. My comment in my log was that this was a fiasco and we should never have been sent up in that weather condition.

“On 24 October, my 11th mission, we struck Phuc Yen Airfield. This was their primary Mig 21 base just Northwest of Hanoi. Up to this point it had been off limits for attack. We never did strike the civil airfield (Gia Lam) outside Hanoi although it was widely known that Migs sometimes used it. LBJ and McNamara had this dumb idea that we would gradually increase the targets we were willing to strike and this was the way to get the North Vietnamese to sue for peace. Our wing came in first using the land route and dropped CBU’s along the flight line to hit the Migs in their revetments. Takhli rolled in just behind us with 3,000# bombs to destroy the runway. The F-4C’s followed them with bombs and maybe even the Navy got in on this historic attack. I think we surprised them and did some considerable damage. There were no U.S. losses. No SA-2s were fired and the 85mm flak was spotty. I was written up for a Silver Star on this mission but it was downgraded to a Distinguished Flying Cross. This was the first of three Silver Star downgrades—so I never got one although many Thud pilots did.
“The next day we went back to Phuc Yen. That time, we were attacked on the way in, by Migs. Our flight punched off our bombs and tanks and broke into the Migs. I suspect they abandoned their attack when we filled their windscreens with bombs and tanks. Anyhow, the rest of the flights got to the target safely. The next day I carried 3,000# bombs for the first time and was impressed how much sleeker the F-105 was with this load as opposed to the 750# bombs carried on the centerline. The target, Hu Gia between Thai Nyugen and Hanoi, was clearly under the clouds so the mission commander wisely directed us to hit the part of the rail line that was clear and we did so nicely. Two SA-2’s were fired without effect.”

US comes to exploit , harrass and enslave your people coz u r too weak and coward . China has lost TW, and seem like it will lose more land into US's hand in near futureThis is the biggest joke of the century.
BTW, US now comes right after China for its Asia-Pacific Pivot, because they even view you guys as a worthless opponent.
