The reinstated military drafts in 1964 led to widespread protests and dissent among Americans, particularly opponents of the war in Vietnam. Many young men refused to register for the draft, burned their draft cards in protest, moved to Canada to avoid the draft, or falsified health conditions to be exempted. The release of the Pentagon Papers in 1971 also revealed President Johnson's true intentions and actions regarding the war in Vietnam, further fueling anti-war sentiment. Additionally, televised reports of the Vietnam War, including the graphic images of the My Lai Massacre in 1968, influenced public opinion and led to a shift in support for the war. Overall, the reinstated military drafts in 1964 contributed to heightened opposition and criticism of the Vietnam War.
