The answer is very simple...almost too simple, really. There are fewer anti-war protests because there is no military draft. Period. When the draft ended late in December, 1972, organized opposition to the war virtually disappeared. Today's young people only go to war if they volunteer for it. Big difference.

Absolutely true. The draft was what did it for us. When we knew that Johnson didn't want to win that war, even patriots demonstrated.
