Oh yeah.

You had better believe it.

>>1704299
I don't see why not.

>>1704299
Did they bomb Laos as well?

>>1704390
Yes

>>1704299
But I mean, considering the US lost anyway, was it worth killing SEA peasants, as worthless as they might be?

The bombings in Vietnam were way, way, way more lethal to civilians than those in Cambodia. The only reason Cambodia was controversial is because the Cambodian state was not involved in the war. The Viet Cong and NVA were using Cambodia just for that reason, they went there to recuperate, rearm, and reform and launch assaults from, because they figured the U.S. would never attack them there for fear of it being seen as an act of aggression against Cambodia.

Remind me (to save me having to wiki it), was the Prince/King cool with it? Also, I love the irony that the commie Vietnamese that the US couldn't beat had to go in a few years later to stop the genocidin' that the same US couldn't give a shit about.

The bombing, or the NVA using his country as a harbor?

>>1704466
Sihanouk being cool with the yankees bombing the NVA hidey-holes and taking out some of his peasants in the process, I meant.

>>1704498
He supported it.

Without a doubt.

>>1704299
None of it was necessary.

I'm glad we can look back on the Cold War and recognize how fucking stupid most of it was. I mean we got some benefits like the space race, at least.
