Many people did not believe we should go/have gone into war. Vietnam was a tough battle and no one was really declared a winner. Lyndon Johnson was the president during this and one chant the protesters would say was "Hey! Hey! LBJ! how many kids are you going to kill today!" and one person that i did not know was involved in this was the great Muhammad Ali. He was eventually punished for doing this. People would travel from all around the country to Washington D.C. and protest against this war. One movie that i like and involves some of this protest stuff is Forrest Gump. In that movie it talks a little about the protesters. The first war protest began in 1945 and the last one was in 1974. but through the 1970s the protests weren't as significant. One of the main reasons they protested was because they didnt agree with the draft. and another reason is for moral support. Women were a large part to the anti-war protest. The anti-war movement. Overall many people just did not think we belonged in Vietnam.
