Barring unforeseen collisions with asteroids or other space objects (which in any event would not actually "destroy the planet"), the Earth will likely be slowly vaporized by the expansion of the Sun into a red giant. This process will affect the Earth within the next 500 to 900 million years or so, as temperatures will increase beyond the tolerances of terrestrial life. As the Sun expands, planetary orbits will increase, but insufficiently to avoid tidal reactions and solar radiation that will destroy at least the four innermost planets of the solar system.

All US wars have had some anti-war protesting, from the Mexican War of 1846 thru the American Indian wars, even WWI & and very quietly the Second World War, but only the American Civil War in the 1800s (19th century) had military conscription, consequently the "draft riots" (anti-war protesters).
