Study Sources A - F

Is there sufficient evidence in sources A Ð'- F to explain why there was and anti war movement in the USA in the 1960's and the 1970's?

The source was written by Michael Bilton and it was known to be first published in 1992. This source is an extract from the book called "FOUR HOURS IN MY LAI"

The book was first published in 1992. The point that Michael Bilton is making is that US lost the war by putting their inexperienced soldiers against the experienced Vietnam soldiers. This source is showing us that the Americans were not equipped to win against the Vietnam soldiers.

Source B shows us that effect of the US bombings. On this picture it shows us they bomb anywhere targeting anyone. In the picture there are 2 innocent children hit by the napalm bombings. The napalm bombing is ripping the flesh off their bodies and there is no way of stopping the burns. The photograph was published during the Vietnam War. America is causing more pain that will anger the Vietnam soldiers even more.

Source C is written by an American journalist Richard Harner. It was written in 1970. It is written like it is a story and it is mentioning all the victims and the bombs used during the war. The source is a dilemma as the source does not tell us who the enemy is and also it does not say if it kills everyone. It shows us that the people in Vietnam do not want the American soldiers positioning Vietnam. The people fight against the American soldiers in the street. The second paragraph is telling us what the soldiers are doing to villages and hamlets sheltering civilians therefore the civilians detest against it.

Source D is cartoon published in the British magazine in 1967. It is showing the effect of the war policy on the "great society" created by President Johnson. His vision to everyone is to "feed and shelter the homeless and to provide more education and medical care".
