Students for a Democratic Society saw the war as not a war ( it wasn't declared) but a police action. So, that means it was illegal and that it was also illegal to draft men for the war. They wanted young men to burn their draft cards in protest of the war and would hold demonstrations on college campuses to protest the war.
