That being said, I understand but do not agree with what the protestors were doing. I think that it was reasonable for them to be upset about the war, but that they should have supported their country more. Their protests were disrespectful to soldiers who wanted to volunteer and were giving their lives for their country. It must have been very demoralizing to be fighting for the USA but not getting the proper amount of support. The protests also divided the country. During a war the country should unite even more so that there is a higher chance of them winning. Lastly, the protests turned violent and people were often injured and even died. This is kind of ironic because they were protesting a war, but causing a lot of violence by doing so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought that this was an interesting video because I had no idea that there was this type of backlash against the Vietnam War.
