The Vietnam War changed US culture more profoundly than many other events. The war happened during a time in which the peace movement was active, which led to widespread protests for ethical reasons. In addition, the government issued a draft order which led to the imprisonment of many people who refused to go to war. The political and social environment of that time caused many changes in the way that people in the US looked at war and the government.

∙ 12y agoThe Vietnam War was so important because communism was on the brink of spreading throughout Vietnam. The Domino Theory states that if one country falls to communism the rest will follow with it. The U.S. had an obligation to contain this threat-- the Truman Doctrine.

One of the main reasons that the government made LSD illegal wasn't because it was driving a small number of it's users insane, but because LSD deals a serious blow to someone's desire for power/control. LSD doesn't so much attract nonconformists as it does create them.

∙ 11y agoThe drafting of college students was the reason for the counter culture and student unrest during the 1960's. ROTC buildings were routinely targeted and burned on college campuses thru-out the nation. ROTC programs were largely cancelled during the 1970's to avoid rioting. Only recently have ROTC programs been re-vitalized on College campuses in the United States.
The Vietnam War had to be fought by draftees. The mobilizing of military reserves could be construed as a act of war, or an escalation of the cold war if they had been activated.

Those who emulate the counter-culture of the "hippies" may adopt the outward appearance, e.g. drive reproduction 1960s cars, dress like 1960s, listen to 1960s music, wear their hair like 1960s. Or they may follow similar philosophies, being disenchanted with the material world and seeking various types of personal or spiritual expression. Some New Age movements share aspects with hippie-ism. Note: The "real" hippies are either dead or in their late 60s to 70s.
