Nearly 4,000 New Zealanders served in the Vietnam War, nearly all of whom were volunteers. New Zealand, had been caught up in the times; Australia & the US were drafting men for the war. New Zealand, by close association with Australia reacted accordingly: they became "anti-war." Possibly, since Australia & the US were conscripting men for military service, it's possible that New Zealanders feared their government would begin doing the same; if the war did not cease.
