Detailed explanation-1: -Vietnam War Protests The later years of the war saw increased physical and psychological deterioration among American soldiers-both volunteers and draftees-including drug use, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), mutinies and attacks by soldiers against officers and noncommissioned officers.
Detailed explanation-2: -The influx of refugees and the presence of Americans brought vast changes to South Vietnamese cities, especially the capital city of Saigon. The population of Saigon tripled during the Vietnam War to reach three million in 1970. Most of these new people were refugees whose homes in the countryside had been destroyed.

Others claimed the conflict was a war against Vietnamese independence, or an intervention in a foreign civil war; others opposed it because they felt it lacked clear objectives and appeared to be unwinnable.
