Why were we there? What purpose did it serve the United States to be fighting a war on the opposite side of the earth? Why were we fighting a war that we had no intention of winning? Supposedly we were just trying to stop agression from North Vietnam into the territory controlled by our friends in South Vietnam, so we would only fight the "enemy" that came up to the DMZ, but we didn't go after the leaders by attacking the center of their power. We drew a line in the sand and effectively said, "don't cross that line... or else."

The military draft (Conscription) was the primary factor for anti-war protests.
Because the war was fought with draftees and draft induced volunteers.

Human beings are not NORMALLY concerned about something, unless it INVOLVES them. When men began to get drafted into the military; they were now INVOLVED!
