One form of civil disobedience practiced by college students during the Vietnam War was the burning of draft cards?
In all probability, 9 out of 10 cases, those were DISGUISED cases of civil disobedience. The US Military was a fearful organization back in those days; during the Vietnam War, the US military was still commanded by WWII veterans and they had no weak spots for weaklings and cowards! Those draft card burners were actually afraid of entering the US military (shaved heads and treated rough...in boot camp!); they'd actually prefer federal prison to the army (which burning a draft card, especially on nation wide TV will get them!).
It was much more honorable to say "they were against the war and burning their cards" than admitting, "we're scared of being drafted, so we're burning our cards."
