By the end of Vietnam most Americans were solidly against it, and I believe “Vietnam was a mistake” has broadly been the belief since then, but mostly because it got American soldiers killed, not because of the horrors they committed.
People opposed the draft. Vietnam itself didn't see much more opposition than any other conflict America decided to stick its nose into, they just didn't like the idea that they or their family members might be expected to go fight in it
