Vietnam had been a news worthy world event since the Kennedy Administration in the early 60's, and it slowly escalated during the Johnson Administration in the mid 60's. Due to the military draft during both administrations, support for the war had always been lukewarm...the common man in the US could see that with escalation of the war, came an escalation in the draft; by 1965 the US draft was hitting the 40,000 men a month mark. The first US (officially noted) anti-war protests had already hit the streets as early as 1963; well before Johnson's "Tonkin Gulf Resolution." But when WWII veterans, and WWII War Correspondents, such as Walter Cronkite turned against the war on Nation-Wide TV during the 1968 TET Offensive in South Vietnam; it was as President Johnson stated, "...if I've lost Cronkite, I've lost the war." TET (1968) was the straw that broke the camel's back.
