By that criteria, I'll still say little or no "carpet bombing" in SEA.

Using your definition I'd agre as well. My definition didn't address
discriminate versus indiscriminate since I don't believe the USAF or its
predecessor the USAAF ever bombed indiscriminately. "Saturation bombing" was
necessary to achieve the desired .pd on the designated target due to the poor
bombing accuracy. No USAAF crew was ever sent out during WW II and told to;
"just drop your weapons where ever".

a B-52 bomb string covers some ground, but Arc Light
missions were specific targets and virtually always jungle areas, not
cities or villages.

However, they were striking general areas. The target may have been specific,
but it was specific in regards to general area.

Does that make sense? Did I type that correctly?
