In a televised address, Nixon announced the attack on Cambodia in 1970, saying it was necessary to defeat the People's Army of Vietnam. (National Archives and Records Administration)

6 days later at Kent State, at a protest in response to the invasion of Cambodia. The end of the 60s.

The US didn't actually move into Cambodia till May 1st. April 28th was, from the link, just the day that Nixon approved the incursion. Unfortunately it was a little too late. I believe if it had been done earlier, like around 18th March, then it would have had a much greater effect. By the time it did happen the PAVN/NLF had already withdrawn most of their forces and equipment from the border areas and set up a new HQ, in Kratie city.
I love this quote:
Orange Dragon in Cambodia, May 1970.

Orange Dragon in Cambodia, May 1970.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Calling you clever was me using sarcasm, just to see if you understand the concept. You don't.The Add Jay wrote:Smart and clever...same same but different.
