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.
