Issue and opponent: Americans began protesting against their government on the Vietnam War issue in 1964, and it grew into a full-fledged movement with diverse social participation. The demonstrators came from African American civil rights movements, feminist movements, Chicano movements, labor movements, and hippie movements. One of the main grievances of the anti-Vietnam War protesters was the draft system that conscripted American citizens and mandated them to join the war against Vietnam. Moreover, the protesters also were critical of the U.S. government’s perception of the threat from Communists. Many protesters believed that the Communist Vietnamese threat was a non-existent threat in reality and U.S. government was using it to forward its expansionist policy in Asia. Moreover, the demonstrators objected to U.S. intervention in South Vietnam’s efforts for self-determination. Public opinion largely favored that the U.S. should not meddle with Vietnam’s internal matters. Dilemma Action: “The National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam’s “March on The Pentagon” took place on October 21, 1967. On this day, the marchers in Washington D.C. converged on the Pentagon and placed flowers on the barrels of the guns held by the military police. The protesters were brutalized by the military police waiting for them at the Pentagon. When the antiwar demonstrators approached The Pentagon, they were confronted by a squad of soldiers from the 503rd Military Police Battalion. The Flower Protest was part of a larger anti-war movement launched in the aftermath of the Vietnam War. Outcome: The rally didn’t stop the war and met with violent government reactions including tear gassing, arrests, and police brutality against the peaceful protesters.
