The tv is showing the Vietnam war. Television reduced the space between the battlefield and the viewer. When the media showed the intensity and the chaos of the war with relatively little mediation, it helped turn people against the war Americans were able to connect and empathize with the soldiers more than ever before. This caused an outcry of public opinion against the war Yes, when the media spread the information of the war, more and more people are going to look forward to help. And the government who fight the war may have the pressure to stop the war since so many people are looking what they have done It indicate that the Vietnam war hurt America seriously. The war has a ff ected the united state very big. A knife is cutting the united state means it hurt it seriously. The war a ff ect united state a lot and hurt it seriously.

What were the effects of Ali’s refusal to be drafted? 2. According to Ali, why should he not fight for the U.S. military in Vietnam? Plane are flying by and throw a lot of bombs, people’s house are destroyed and smoking in the picture. . It means that a lot of people are not able to return to their home after the war. Building are destroyed and a lot of people are hurt some fled to Canada; many feigned physical or mental illness, others used family connections to gain safe positions in the National Guard. A conscientious objector is one who is opposed to serving in the armed forces and/or bearing arms on the grounds of moral or religious principles No, because that is only a card, why people burn it and think it will a ff ect to the war. So I don’t think it is going to be powerful he was sentenced to 5 years in prison Because he citing his religion forbade him from serving.
