Question

70s
in response to the escalation of the vietnam war, anti - war demonstrations became increasingly common throughout the united states, an outgrowth of mass political protests earlier in the decade. burning draft cards quickly became a poignant and controversial form of civil disobedience. for opponents of the war, draft cards were symbols of what they believed to be the federal government’s flawed foreign policy. to burn them was to refuse to participate in the conflict. one young man who burned a draft card in 1967 exclaimed “we’ll never fight another war for you, lbj.”
