The Vietnam War mobilized former soldiers to speak out against the
war, both in terms of how the war was fought and why the war was
fought. Many soldiers returned from the war deeply critical of the
United States’ goals and tactics. After reading your text write a
discussion about the Anti-War Movement, particularly Vietnam Vets
Against the War, and the obligation of the United States to those
soldiers. You might consider the following questions, but you are not
limited to them: Why were protests by veterans more effective than
student protests? Do you think the anti-war was more or less active
due to participation by soldiers? Why do these types of anti-war
meetings and organizations rarely happen today? What responsibility
does the US have to Vietnam due to Agent Orange? Do Americans have an obligation to soldiers once they've left the service?
