The reasons behind American opposition to the Vietnam War fell into several main categories: opposition to the draft; moral, legal, and pragmatic arguments against U.S. intervention; and reaction to the media portrayal of the devastation in Southeast Asia.

The draft, as a system of conscription which threatened lower class registrants and middle class registrants alike, drove much of the protest after 1965. Conscientious objectors did play an active role although their numbers were small. The prevailing sentiment that the draft was unfairly administered inflamed blue-collar American and African-American opposition to the military draft itself.
Opposition to the war arose during a time of unprecedented Student activism which followed the free speech movement and the civil rights movements . The military draft mobilized the baby boomers who were most at risk, but grew to include a varied cross-section of Americans. The growing opposition to the Vietnam War was partly attributed to greater access to uncensored information presented by the extensive television coverage on the ground in Vietnam.
Beyond opposition to the draft, anti-war protesters also made moral arguments against the United States' involvement in Vietnam. This moral imperative argument against the war was especially popular among American college students, who were more likely than the general public to accuse the United States of having imperialistic goals in Vietnam and to criticize the war as "immoral." Civilian deaths, which were either downplayed or omitted entirely by the Western media, became a subject of protest when photographic evidence of casualties emerged. An infamous photo of General Nguyen Ngoc Loan holding a pistol to the head of an alleged terrorist during the Tet Offensive also provoked public outcry.

Unfortunately more and more young people are dying from drug overdoses or drug related crimes. While our country is the best in the world we sometimes fight too many wars. Right now there is a war against Iraq, there is a war brewing against Iran . there is a war on poverty , there is a war against drugs, there is a war against hunger, there is a war against leaving our youngsters behind in school , there is a war against illiteracy. there is a war against illegal immigrant's, pretty soon there will be a war against war. The most important war should be against giving money and aid to foreign countries when our young people are dying from overdoses and suicide bombers.
They don't have to fight it.
