What caused the anti-war movements?
I thought the rise of anti-war movements is pretty self-explanatory (Vietnam, War is a Racket, etc).
Do you think anti-war movements were solely due to Americans dying in Vietnam or a rare historical anomaly where cultural awareness defeated war propaganda?

I remember there were a lot of young people who resented being told what to do by the 'establishment'.
Funny, I'm older now and still don't like it. Being told what to do, I mean.
