How did the Vietnam War increase political and social tensions in the U. S.?

One key reason for an increase was the length and futility of the conflict. As the war dragged on and the public viewed it on TV, public support waned.

A third reason for growing tensions was the high number of American casualties and financial costs of the war. The US had underestimated its enemy. The Viet Cong and North Vietnamese were tough and determined.
