Reasons for Hating Vietnam WarThe Vietnam War was one of the first wars to be played out in peoples homes (on their televisions). This meant that it was scrutinized by the public far more than had previous wars. The general public had no stomach for the realities of war, such as dying children and mass murders etc. coupled with the fact that most people didnt see why the US Army was involved in the first place--with such huge losses. This was a recipe for dissent amongst the average American.
