The Korean War didn't witness the anti-war sentiments that Nam did due to its short duration (3 yrs).
People were against the Viet war because of the military draft. Like today, most folks don't give a hoot about any war...unless they're forced to have to fight it (like being conscripted)...THEN THEY CARE!
