Best Answer

Americans were more or less outraged about the Vietnam War due to the fact that it was the first televised war, allowing Americans to view what was going on at the front lines. American's were then able to view civilian's dieing. This was the Enemy's strategy, to get American's against the war so that they did not support it.
