Why was the Vietnam war so unpopular to the Americans?

The media presented a war that could not be understood without fighting it. By trying to share what they did see, they themselves were shocked nevermind the American public. War is harsh, bloody and often times it is impossible to keep civilians from being injured or killed. ALSO - many of the civilians were willing to carry bombs into buildings, open markets, etc where American and Allied soldiers were. When soldiers have to defend themselvs against civilians, and they cannot have their side of the story told properly - it creates a very negative situation.
