Oppositions to the Vietnam War was partly attributed to greater access to uncensored information compared with previous wars and extensive television coverage. Many and most of the opposers were University students and didn't see the point in continueing a futile war. The supporters of the war were the older australian's, returned service leagues. The business and media and the political parties; Country party and Liberal party. They thought that young men being forced to go to war was unnecessary, it disturbed their lives and the potential to live to their dreams. They also thought that the enormous amount of money used on the war should be spent on helping their own count. The fact that it was an overseas war and that it had nothing to do with us was another reason for opposition. Amigos11.
