The majority of people who, at the time, believed that the war in Vietnam was immoral, generally also "believed" that war itself was "immoral." All wars in US history have been protested by it's citizens. A big example was the Mexican War of 1846-1848, in which the present states of California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, were taken to become part of the United States of America. President Polk was afronted by heavy anti-war protests during that war. The settling of the US Frontier by the US Cavalry, the US Civil War, all had protesters against them, often proclaiming "immoral" reasons for those wars. The Vietnam War was NOT a new comer to anti-war demonstrations. But it lasted so long, and drafted so many men, that the protests became unbearable for the White House and the Pentagon. That's what made the Vietnam War stand out.
During the "COLD WAR"; the Vietnam War was immoral to most people...who believed that war was "immoral" to begin with. Example: During WWII, which was a "clear case" of self defense (the Pearl Harbor Attack), people in the US still protested US involvement in that war. The "...reasons about the Vietnam War", would be the same; war is immoral, for those that choose to believe it. For many people there is NO JUSTIFICATION for war.
money religion reasons land and for peace
One of the main reasons was to separate the Vietnam War from the French War or French Vietnam War (which is often referred to as the French Indochina War; and lately, the 1st Indochina War). To makes things simple: The French Indochina War and the US (American) Vietnam War, might be the easiest way to remember it.
The Vietnam was was never a declared war, but 58,000 men died there in 10 years. Every night on TV the war was filmed and put on the news. This changed how people viewed the war and they began to protest the war. We saw men died in the jungles of Vietnam and it was felt that the government needed to leave or declare a war.
