 * People thought that the American forces were being inhumane, mostly because of the use of chemicals like napalm.
 * TET offensive, people thought the government had lied
 * Draft, people thought the draft wasn't fair
 * The war was expanded to Cambodia
 * A few people went to drastic measure to oppose the draft, practicing self immolation, where someone lights themselves on fire.
 * Many people burned their draft cards, some even got arrested for it
 * veterans who were sent home from vietnam got together and went around the US protesting the war. one even said, "Here's my merit badges for murder."
 * at the beginning of the war the people who opposed the war were the obvious, the hippies who say never have war.
 * soon many people began to see that our soldiers were dying in vain, and the people around the draft age started protesting it.
 * veterans who came home wounded protested it, going around all over the us saying that they shouldnt have been there in the first place.
