The Draft

2015-03-05 17:37:30 UTC

During the Vietnam War, about two-third of American troops were volunteered, the rest were selected for military service through the drafts. In the beginning of the war, the names of all American men in draft-age were collected by the Selective Service. Most of U.S. soldiers drafted during the Vietnam War were men from poor and working-class families.

Media and the War

2015-03-05 17:41:24 UTC

Before the 1960s, the U.S. media had no interest in Vietnam. American journalists followed events only when breaking news happened in the region. Those who covered the beginning of the war in Vietnam were only reporting the rise of communism in the country. Vietnam was the first war that issued full freedom to the press,
allowing media to cover the war as they saw it. Without censorship,
appalling images enabled the public to see war, as they never had before. Many
people believe that it was the media that sparked the lack of support for the
war.
