As portrayed fictionally in the film ‘Apocalypse Now’, and shown in the intro of the clip (which was filmed in the Philippines), the US war effort in Vietnam spilled over into a secret, but massive, bombing campaign of Cambodia ordered by President Richard Millhouse Nixon. ‘Operation Menu’ was the codename of a covert United States Strategic Air Command (SAC) bombing campaign conducted in eastern Cambodia from 18 March 1969 until 26 May 1970, during the Vietnam War leading to the deaths of at least 50000 Cambodians. The supposed targets of these attacks were sanctuaries and Base Areas of the People’s Army of Vietnam (PAVN) and forces of the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam (NLF or derogatively, Viet Cong), which utilized them for resupply, training, and resting between campaigns across the border in the Republic …
