Assume you are a young man in 1970, and that you oppose the Vietnam War. State the antiwar movement’s argument as you see it.

What will be an ideal response?

ANSWER
Consider: you may feel personally threatened by the war–you are of draft age; you may think the war is unnecessary–Vietnam has no readily apparent strategic importance to the United States; you might think the war is immoral–thousands of Americans are dying in a war that, as a civil war in Vietnam–is none of America’s business; you might also question the morality of the war because of the death and destruction in Vietnam produced by America’s superior fire power and use of technological warfare; you may also think the billions of dollars the war is costing could be better spent.
