When the Vietnam War started only a small percentage of the American population opposed the war. The first march to Washington against the war took place in December, 1964. Only 25,000 people took part but it was still the largest anti-war demonstration in American history. Most dramatically, between 1960 and 1973, 503,926 members of the US armed forces deserted.
