With Covid-19 being all the news all the time, other things get missed. The 50th anniversary of the shootings at Kent State University on May 4 was one of them, at least for me.
I was a senior at Eastern Illinois University in 1970. When President Nixon gave his speech on the Cambodian incursion on April 30, 1970, it seemed reasonable to me. Protestors said he was expanding the war. I figured that, since the North Vietnamese were already in Cambodia, attacking South Vietnam from bases there, you couldn’t say we were expanding the war into Cambodia. The war came to Cambodia when the North Vietnamese moved in.
