    The domestic antiwar protesting caused the American military to seize up. The rank and file didn’t support the war and the whole machine was incapable of being effective because of it. There was widespread go-slow or simply not doing the work occurring, as well as the obvious sabotage like fragging of officers.

    I agree that it didn’t achieve much politically, but I think we overlook the impact on the troops themselves.
