	The Vietnam War protests
		The Vietnam war protests,or Anti-war movement, initiated by college students, was instrumental in questioning the policies surrounding America's involvement in Indochina's affairs.
		The Vietnam conflict was a war whose origins many did not understand, that seemed an exercise in futility, and that left a nation questioning the policies of a government they’d always trusted.
		Vietnam became a country of the rich and the poor, of corruption, of subjugated peasants, of bandits and frequent uprisings and revolts.

	The Anti-War Movement in the United States
		Hayden cited the uncertainty of life in Cold War America and the degradation of African Americans in the South as examples of the failure of liberal ideology and called for a reevaluation of academic acquiescence in what he claimed was a dangerous conspiracy to maintain a sense of apathy among American youth.
		By 1968, faced with widespread public opposition to the war and troubling prospects in Vietnam, the Johnson administration halted the bombing of North Vietnam and stabilized the ground war.
		During the Johnson administration, it played a significant role in constraining the war and was a major factor in the administration's policy reversal in 1968.

	Antiwar_Movement
		Prominent senators had already begun criticizing American involvement in Vietnam during the summer of 1964, which led to the mass antiwar movement that was to appear in the summer of 1965.
		The war in Southeast Asia and the war at home in the streets and the campuses dominated the headlines and the attention of the White House.
		Some protesting still lingered, and in the late summer on August 7, 1970, when a young researcher at the University of Wisconsin was killed when the building in which he was working was fire bombed.

	Vietnam War Protests
		Many 1960s antiwar activists came to believe that the Viet Nam war was not a mistake but a deliberate attempt by a loosely-knit but powerful coalition that controlled the U.S. to retain a small but highly-regarded part of its empire, fueled by Cold War ideology.
		The antiwar movement of the 1960s was a broad and diverse coalition and many in it could agree that the war in Viet Nam was illegal and immoral without seeing it as a struggle to save Viet Nam for the capitalist world.
		Vietnam War is the best Vietnam War information resource on the Internet.

		Vietnam continues to divide the country, but Nixon is re-elected in a landslide in 1972--in spite of a third-rate burglary called Watergate.
		As the Vietnam War continued to polarize Americans, President Nixon sought a way to end the war without America losing face or appearing weak within the international community.
		Under continuing attack for not ending the war, President Nixon is further frustrated by the media releases of the "Pentagon Papers", a series of classified documents dating back to the Johnson administration discussing America's role in Vietnam.

	Did Vietnam Anti-War Protests Embolden Our Enemies?
		Even though defenders of the war and the administration have rejected others' attempts to draw analogies between the Iraq War and the Vietnam War, they have drawn an analogy of their own.
		Iraq War supporters have repeated the charge Vietnam War hawks leveled against doves; namely, that domestic opposition to the prosecution of a war has the effect of emboldening America's enemies.
		Critics and opponents of the war provide alternative opinions and analyses that serve much more to point the way out of the quagmire than they serve to encourage America's enemies, who are motivated and encouraged by their own resentments and goals and their own interpretations of their prospects in Iraq.

		But by 1966, when youth activists began questioning and protesting against United States involvement, they framed a ten-year debate on the underlying national political and social issues laid bare by the conflict: unfairness and inequities of the military draft, racial discrimination, poverty, and official deceit.
		As the toll of death and destruction mounted, the protest movement grew in numbers and spread across the country.
		The entire world watched in 1968 as Chicago police battled war protesters on the street outside the Democratic National Convention where, inside, Minnesota Senator Eugene McCarthy and Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey played major colliding roles and where Humphrey's political career and future were changed forever.

	Watch on the West: Mythed Opportunities: The Truth About Vietnam Anti-War Protests - FPRI
		Because the Vietnam War did not involve survival interests for the United States, it was always necessary to consider the price of gaining a strategically important, but not critical, goal.
		The other myth is the flip side of that view; namely, that the war could have and would have been won had it not been for protests that undermined popular support and led first the Johnson and then the Nixon administration to pull punches.
		Without the antiwar protests, which were associated in the minds of the “silent majority” with a militarized fl power movement that had somehow metastasized from the civil rights movement, George Wallace could never have become a national political figure, if only for a while.

	How US imperialism was defeated in Vietnam
		The Communist Party in South Vietnam organized a guerrilla army, the NFL, to fight Diem and the U.S. Up until the time of the Tet Offensive in 1968 the NFL was the main anti-US armed force in South Vietnam.
		The Tet Offensive was both the highest point of guerrilla activity during the Vietnam War, but also the beginning of its marginalisation for the remainder of the war.
		It wasn't the brutality of the war that in and by itself led to the disintegration of the U.S. Army.

		Rather than protesters being the source of their problems, many Australian veterans blame their plight on a government that used them with reckless disregard, then discarded them after use.
		The fact of conscription - "the lottery of death" - meant that military inductions were a focus of protest activity but the soldiers were always seen as pawns in the slaughter, not targets for vilification.
		Vietnam was a formative period for a generation of Australians, affecting values and beliefs for years afterwards.

	Rise and Fall of the Anti-Vietnam War Movement in the U.S.
		An aspect of this war is the rise of a large anti-war movement in the U.S. This has stimulated a lot of analysis and discussion of the anti-war movement during the Vietnam war.
		It offered a solid anti-imperialist analysis of the war in Vietnam and called for international solidarity with the Vietnamese and militant action; this was in contrast to most of the anti-war movement, which was trying to blame the whole war on President Johnson.
		Large parts of Cambodia were devastated, populations were dislocated, and famine and war brought on by the U.S. war against Vietnam led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands there, and the Vietnamese had to cope with thousands of injured, with destroyed industrial facilities, and with burned and poisoned land.

		According to Whitehorn, the Weathermen protested the Vietnam War because they believed it was an imperialistic war.

		Kerry went to war with doubts about Vietnam and came home with certainty that the war was wrong; he received early release from the Navy to run for Congress as an anti-war candidate.
		Bob Muller, president of the Vietnam Veterans of American Foundation and a friend who has known Kerry since their war-protester days, says Kerry was the one who "put a good face on us," who tamped down the movement's extremes and offered a more moderate face of dissent.

	Miriam R. Jackson, Vietnam War Refought, Kent State, 1977, Part III
		The antiwar movement did succeed in gaining a public support for a liberal interpretation of the war, however, a feat which the more narrowly-based Coalition was unable to match.
		Certainly if the Coalition was not going to persuade the public that the Kent State shootings needed to be memorialized by saving the site--even with the help of the media--it was not going to succeed even to the extent that the antiwar movement had.
		It was the public that seemed unwilling to grapple with the issues of the Viet Nam war and Kent State 1970/1977.
