The Vietnam War faced mass opposition for several reasons inlcuding:

1) Unfair draft practices- Many citizens who were affluent and had connections were able to avoid being drafted by the US military. This resulted in a majority of the soldiers being individuals from lower-middle class socioeconomic groups. Many citizens felt that this was unfair, an dubbed Vietnam a rich man's fought that happened to be fought by the poor.

3) Casualties- The US military suffered over 50,000 deaths due to this war. Americans felt that this was unacceptable.
