In what ways did the antiwar movements in Vietnam and Iraq differ? In what ways were they similar? Why has there been no antiwar movement in the United States since the Vietnam War?

What will be an ideal response?

Answers should address how the Vietnam and Iraq antiwar movements differed, namely in number of soldiers killed (50,000 in Vietnam and 3,200 in Iraq), the number of troops deployed (nearly 500,000 in Vietnam), and the use of the draft in Vietnam. Answers may also address how the inability of peace activists to prevent the invasion demoralized the coalition and prompted many groups to disband or shift their energies to other issues. Answers regarding the lack of antiwar movements since Vietnam may discuss the small-scale nature of post–Cold War military engagements and the legitimization of international organizations and coalitions.
