Another example was the cluster bombing along the borders of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos - hundreds of millions of bomblets were dropped, which still kill and maim to this day.
This bombing campaign was reckless in the extreme, and with complete disregard for human life - if anyone other than the US had done this, they would have been ostracised and declared war criminals.
Some more info on cluster munitions[0], which the US continued to use in more recent times in Iraq and Afghanistan, and AFAIK they still refuse to sign the anti-cluster bomb CCM treaty that around 100 nations have signed.
