A lot of young men gave their lives in a war the politicians were not committed to win. One Nagasaki sized nuke on Hanoi would have ended the war. The threat of escalation was real but the question was is it winnable. Sometimes you lose more when you win than when you lose.
A nuke would have done nothing but escalate things to mutually assured destruction during the cold war. You nor I would likely be around to debate these things had they dropped a nuke on Hanoi. Russia nor China would have stood for such nonsense nor should they have.
