B-52 of US army killed al least 500000 ( haft millions khmer life )innocent Cambodian people at that time.

Ask your parents if you don't believe about B-52 bomb Cambodia at that time.

One B-52 airplane can carry 32 000kgs of bomb, drop more than 15 000 tons of conventional bombs on Cambodia from 1965–73.

ASK your parents for more detail about B-52
