Vietnam at Home

The Media The Vietnam war was much more publicized than any war had ever been. For the first time, cameras were allowed in the midst of the action. Photographs and video images from the war in Vietnam had a strong influence on the opinions of the American public.

America’s Reaction Hawks- supporters of the war Doves- Oppose the war; anti-war protests (usually on college campuses)

American Culture Begins to Change Counterculture- a movement that rejected traditional American values Sometimes called “Hippies”- experimented with clothing and music

The Draft The Selective Service System The law required all men to register for the draft at age eighteen Deferments- issued by draft boards to excuse certain people from military service Full-time college students received deferments

Opposition to the Draft Conscientious objectors- claimed their moral or religious beliefs kept them from fighting in the war Burning of draft cards
