The age of the average American soldier serving in Vietnam was 19, seven years younger than its World War II counterpart. Students observed that young Americans were legally old enough to fight and die, but were not permitted to vote or drink alcohol. Such criticism led to the 26th Amendment, which granted suffrage to 18-year-olds."]]> 2018-12-11 16:14:18 UTC https://padlet.com/benjaminmaldonado2001/qd7q11x35i60/wish/313472225 benjaminmaldonado2001 https://padlet.com/benjaminmaldonado2001/qd7q11x35i60/wish/313472774 "The late 1960s became increasingly radical as the activists felt their demands were ignored. Peaceful demonstrations turned violent. When the police arrived to arrest protesters, the crowds often retaliated.

The North Vietnamese, they argued, were fighting a patriotic war to rid themselves of foreign aggressors. Innocent Vietnamese peasants were being killed in the crossfire. American planes wrought environmental damage by dropping their defoliating chemicals."]]> 2018-12-11 16:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/benjaminmaldonado2001/qd7q11x35i60/wish/313476230 benjaminmaldonado2001 https://padlet.com/benjaminmaldonado2001/qd7q11x35i60/wish/313477624 Protestors wanted the war to stop]]> 2018-12-11 16:23:30 UTC https://padlet.com/benjaminmaldonado2001/qd7q11x35i60/wish/313477624 benjaminmaldonado2001 https://padlet.com/benjaminmaldonado2001/qd7q11x35i60/wish/313478847 Protestors were around D.C not agreeing with the war in Vietnam]]> 2018-12-11 16:25:44 UTC https://padlet.com/benjaminmaldonado2001/qd7q11x35i60/wish/313478847 benjaminmaldonado2001 https://padlet.com/benjaminmaldonado2001/qd7q11x35i60/wish/313479554 Nobody wanted to fight in this war]]> 2018-12-11 16:27:02 UTC https://padlet.com/benjaminmaldonado2001/qd7q11x35i60/wish/313479554 benjaminmaldonado2001 https://padlet.com/benjaminmaldonado2001/qd7q11x35i60/wish/313480178 Police would threaten citizens to calm down and back up or they'll shoot them]]> 2018-12-11 16:28:06 UTC https://padlet.com/benjaminmaldonado2001/qd7q11x35i60/wish/313480178
