What is the anti-war movement during the Vietnam War?
It began as an anti draft movement among the hippies and the flower children. As the US casualties mounted it became more and more widespread and began to appear on the evening news along with reports of Buddhist monks setting themselves aflame, young napalmed girls and an every increasing number of flag draped caskets returnin to the States. The draft resisters, evaders and dodgers increased in numbers as did the number of draft card burnings. The larger and more vocal the protests became, the more the government leaked about Laos and Cambodia. Suport of the Vietnam War collapsed and then ended.

Was the Nueces River Battle a Civil War Battle?
No, it was a massacre of conscientious objectors and draft evaders who were German Texans, loyal to the Union, who were trying to escape to Mexico to avoid conscription into the Confederate Army in 1862. Yes, it is historically recorded as "The Battle of the Nueces" and took place on August 10th, 1862. The battle was fought between German Unionists and a small division of Confederate soldiers. It was a small skirmish, the Unionists were thoroughly defeated, and no real progress in the war was made because of it! A massacre would imply that the Confederate troops waged battle against an overall unarmed and unorganized group, like civilians at a rally. This is NOT the case as the Unionists were led by Maj. Fritz Tegener, making them militarily organized. Their alliance with the Union therefor made them enemy soldiers in enemy territory.
Why do Vietnam vets not trust anyone?
Speaking as a Viet Nam Veteran, my short answer would be because we were, as a group both victimized and demonized by the press and the public. It quickly became a case of the only people we could trust were those who had been there. Specifics: my kids were osterized rediculed and physically assualted at school because I was in Viet Nam. My wife was refused credit specifically because I was on a current tour "in country." She was told it was because I was a very low survival risk. Many marriages ended with the husband in country because the wife and maybe children couldn't take the pressure. Upon my return to the U.S. I was told to change into civilian clothes before exiting the plane. This did nothing of course because the crowd waiting for us in the terminal had been informed that we were all returning from Viet Nam. The press coverage of Viet Nam was worse than biased. They reported every instance where the troops raided a Viet Cong village, which happened about once every month or two. Sometimes if it didn't happen soon enough, they re-ran film clips from a past raid and reported it as a current raid. Not once did I see an account of the Viet Cong rocketing an orphenage, hospital, or church. Events that happened two or three times a week. In contrast, draft evaders were, and still are, idolized as heros. This osterization became even more pronounced after the draft ended. Once you left the military, having served there was a negative factor at job interviews. It took me almost six months to get an entry level job in a field where I had held officer rank. Then contrast that with the treatment of today's returning combat troops. The long and short of it is, I may like you, or even love you, but I've been back-stabed too often to trust you. I reserve my trust to those who served there, and for those families that remained faithful during that service.
