Why Americans refused to serve in Vietnam?

Answer 1

Many of them felt that the war was wrong and among these were many who would be forced through conscription to risk their lives to to tickle the fancy of a group of politicians and an arms lobby. This was in fact not a war this was a police action initiated when it became obvious that a corrupt south Vietnamese government bolstered by the US would be thrown out by the communists in a democratic election. Honest and self interested Americans were not interested in being involved

Answer 2

Americans refused to serve in Vietnam for a variety of reasons, including opposition to the war itself, moral objections to the conflict, concerns about the draft and conscription, and fear of the dangers and uncertainties of combat in a complex and controversial war. Additionally, many Americans viewed the Vietnam War as unjust or unnecessary, leading them to resist or refuse military service.
