1. Mothers (and Grandmothers) worried about their sons being drafted. In some cases Fathers thought the military (some descipline) might do their sons some good.
2. Sisters and wives worried about their brothers and husbands being drafted.
3. Little brothers worried about their big brothers being drafted.
4. The neighborhood even worried about their paper-boy (they used to have paper-boys back then, they'd toss your newspaper in your front lawn from their bicycle before you woke up), this was before people worried about their children being out at night unsupervised (now adults throw a paper from their car, and their youngster gets some sort of credit for it). Anyway, some newspaper boys ended up enlisting (or drafted) and killed in Vietnam.
So that's how many people thought about the war.
