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."
Nearly anyone who protested the war/draft was questioning the national policy. The draft was an instrument to enforce US policy (the draft was needed to fight the war). Citizens questioned the "National Policy" because they feared military induction.
The military draft (Conscription) was the primary factor for anti-war protests.
