I don't think it really fair to compare Vietnam protests to protests NOW, in the age of the all volunteer army. The Vietnam protests ( and I was THERE ) were driven by students in danger of being drafted! Nothing energizes a young man more than the idea of their government sending them against their will to a foreign country to kill or be killed by people he doesn't even know!
It's why we don't have a draft now.
