While I served in Vietnam in 1968, we received many packages sent simply to "any serviceman" filled with baked goods, paperback books, playing cards, candy, magazines, newspapers, socks, and letters from kids and families. The media spent a great deal of coverage on protests - but a great many Americans continued to quietly lend their support and encouragement to military serving in combat.
In the early stages of the war it was accepted as a proper use of US Military power. That position changed as the war wore on.
They did NOT want to be drafted to fight it.

All out war, minus nukes and invasion of the north.

Public discontent.
The public was drafted, the public resisted.
The Vietnam War hurt his image.
Most Americans never heard of the place "early on."
