The Nixon Address: The Bombing of Cambodia

This day in history on April 30, 1970, 41 years ago the US President Richard Nixon addressed the nation on the bombing of Cambodia as part of a campaign to fight in hot pursuit to the NVN and VC and to protect the Army troupes operating in South Vietnam. This campaign is also seen as the beginning of the US assistance to the Lon Nol government that was born out of the March 18 coup. President Nixon was later in a cover up of a scandal and was forced to resign.
