Why did protestors think the Vietnam war was wrong?

Answer 1

There were no clear strategic goals and objectives for the war, and we were not using the right tactical approach in response to the skills of the north. Casualties were mounting, and the north probably knew that this would ultimately hasten the end of the war by eroding the support of the US people. Seriously adding to the erosion of support there was regular coverage of the war on television through the brave efforts of reporters who accompanied troups right to the front lines. Nightly, we witnessed the carnage that was taking place there.

Answer 2

Most (not all) of them were protesting the military draft under the disguise of "the war was wrong." Another words, if they weren't being conscripted to fight it, they wouldn't have made such a big deal out of it. It is "far more" acceptable to people when they hear, "the war is wrong, we're protesting it'", than to hear , "I'm scared of being drafted into the military so I'm protesting." No one likes cowards (not even cowards like cowards), so it's..."the war is wrong" the effect is the same, if it ends, THEY DON'T GET DRAFTED.

How many college campuses do you hear about having mass riots (with riot police and troops), destroyed ROTC buildings, over-turned cars, mass beatings of protesters (with night sticks, high pressure water hoses, and CS riot gas), clogged streets and National Monuments filled with rioters and protesters from today's military conflicts...very few or none at all. Because NO ONE's being conscripted to fight them! All fighting is done by the VOLUNTEER military.

The all volunteer military was created because of the Vietnam War.

Answer 3

They were tired of being drafted.
