Why did students at Kent State University in Ohio protest the bombing of Cambodia?

The U.S. announced the bombing and invasion of Cambodia in 1970 while claiming to be reducing its involvement in Vietnam. Many students believed expanding the war into Cambodia contradicted that withdrawal and escalated the conflict. Choice A captures this concern; the bombing was not seen as evidence that Vietnamization was effective or that the war would end quickly.
