Really. What American Cities buildings did the Viet Cong blow up?

None, of course, but they used similar tactics - child soldiers, mass violations of the rules of warfare, etc.

If you’re talking about blowing up cities, the only reason that that didn’t happen to us in the 20th century was technological limitations. We haven’t seen anything like what happened to London or Dresden. The closest we’ve had to something on that scale would have been Sherman’s march to the coast during the Civil War.

The Japanese did a pretty good job on Pearl Harbor and actually did manage to get some bombs to the Pacific Northwest on balloons, though.
