Home Front

The Vietnam War had little to no supporters back home. Protests broke out all over, mostly filled with anti-war college students. They felt that the U.S should not be involved in Vietnam. One reason was because they saw it as we were not really helping the Southern Vietnamese, rather than just making things worse and fighting for a lost cause. They also felt that we were supporting a corrupt government since South Vietnam didn’t have any democracy anyway. They also felt that there was no purpose for the U.S to be there and that soldiers were dieing for no cause. These things all caused a huge anti-war protest movement. Veterans went underappreciated since the war and little to no support on its home front.
