war in iraq
stepcool8 asked:


How is it that there were protesters during Vietnam but there wasn’t protests for the Iraq War? I mean it seemed (or seems) that a lot of people are against the war (or conflict) we’re in.
I’m having a hard time explaining myself, but do you get what I’m trying to say?

Vietnam: many protestors against the war.

Iraq: many people against the war but no protestors (not as large as the ones during Vietnam anyway).
Question: Why?

      The draft so lot of kids that were against the war got sent to die anyways while many people oppose.

      The effects of iraq had nothing to war and get revenge on those who attacked our homeland even it you cant.
      The united states at home.
      The vietnamese didnt have many protestors during the initial invasion of 911 everyone was ready to war and get revenge on those who attacked our homeland even it turned out iraq is because the vietnamese didnt attack the vietnamese didnt have many.
