What were thepolitics issues?

Answer 1

The only politics of the war was the military draft. Without the draft, most people, discounting the families & friends that suffered losses during the war, would not have cared that much about it. The world at the time was quite busy with the "Cuban Missile Crisis", "Fidel Castro", the "Race for the Moon" (The Space Race), the "John Kennedy Assassination", the "Robert Kennedy Assassination", the "Martin Luther King Assassination", the "Lee Harvey Oswald Assassination", the "Civil Rights Movement", and so forth. The politics was "end the war...so WE DONT HAVE TO FIGHT IN IT!" Meaning DRAFTEES!
