. In 'Nam also there were many groups encouraging and supporting people in avoiding the military. Didn't happen in the earlier wars.

The reason WW1 and 2 had popular support wasn't because the people at the time had a greater general sense of moral obligation.
It was because those wars themselves were morally justified.

Draft resistance worked during 'Nam because those opposing that war were right.

A lot of the impulse behind the resistance movement came from combat vets themselves.

And the canard that the war was fought by the poor and the black is a lie.

So is the canard that Vietnam vets are mentally damaged.
Studies have shown that they are better adjusted than those who didn't serve.

So is the canard that they got spat upon at airports.
