Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos were all the same Vietnam War. The Vietnam War spilled over into Cambodia. It was the same war which had been raging for years before Nixon. The guardsmen were wrong and the governor had blood on his hands for sending them into a college campus. Why were there secret agents as you say there were? For pete sake, we are talking a college campus and a protest, which is our constitutional right. 58,000 soldiers died in an immoral war. I had a friend who died in Phnon Penh. I was in high school during the time of Nixons presidency. I know what happened and any recounting of that era will now tell you, the war was so wrong, the governor of Kent State was wrong and the guardsmen were wrong.

Spi opens shop in Vietnam
The latest newsletter states Spi (formerly Cymed) has opened up shop in Vietnam. I guess they have run out of shops in India and the Philippines. I asked a vet if they speak any better English than the other two and he said NO. I guess I give up on finding a good QA position with headquarters in the good old US of A.
Vietnam sound bites..But either way, war was absolutely NOT illegal. He violated
