Cambodia?
In 1965-66 LBJ arranged a game or make-believe with Prince Sihanouk of Cambodia. They would both pretend that the US military was not in Cambodia.

The anti-LBJ pro-McCarthy demonstrators well documented that LBJ did have troops in Laos and Cambodia exposing the pretend game. (My artillery unit was in Laos shooting up the HoChiMinh trail in 66-67.)

So when Nixon became president, the left accused him of expanding the war to Laos and Cambodia. The Left knew full well that there was no expansion. It was a continuation of LBJ policies by Nixon.

Thus we had the Kent State riots for nothing. And protests at Yale and many college campuses for a bogus reason.
