I believe it would be the same reason why America didn't nuke China during the Korean war. Due to the fact that it might've started a WW3/

Douglas MacArthur wanted to drop 8 atomics bombs at China, But it was the fear of the Soviet Union getting involved.

The Vietcongs have not done anything harmful directly to our women and children. It's why most Americans wanted to pull out of Vietnam.
