I never understood this. The Vietnam War was being fought in a politically correct way (just like the ones that we're in now), and then Nixon finally decided to go into Cambodia where the Viet Cong were hiding, knowing that this country wouldn't cross the border. They finally did something right, and then these people protested it.

Nixon had been elected in '68 and one of his pledges was to end the draft. By 1970 this had not been done and the move into Cambodia was seen by those in the peace movement as a clear escalation of the Vietnam war hence the increasing protests. Nevermind the fact that this was a war being waged against a Third World country in the first place.

At no point during the disturbances on May 4 was the use of live ammo necessary. I still think what happened that day at Kent State was murder.
