Question 23 • LHS Oklahoma History

Many Oklahomans grew to disapprove of the Vietnam War because Congress never officially declared war, the US military made little progress, and __________.

Answer
A
they were unhappy that the US was not taking action to contain the expansion of communism
B
they were angered that most men older than eighteen were required to register for potential service in the war
C
they feared that the military would invade other neighboring nations, including China
D
they feared that communism would spread throughout Asia without US intervention

Explanation

Along with the lack of an official declaration of war and little military progress, the draft caused many Americans to oppose the Vietnam War. Most men over eighteen had to register for possible military service, which angered people who feared being sent to fight. The other choices describe support for containing communism or fears of a wider conflict, not the likely source of growing disapproval in this question.
