Vietnam, despite being significantly smaller than the U.S., saw a more intense bombing campaign during their war due to the nature of guerilla warfare. This doesn't justify the disproportionate damage, but it's a reminder that conflicts aren't directly comparable in this way.
Moreover, the technology used in warfare has evolved significantly. Today's precision-guided munitions aim to reduce collateral damage. While mistakes do happen, it's worth noting that it's not an inherent outcome of the technology but rather the manner in which it is deployed.
