Why did MLK and Kenny oppose the war?

Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator Robert F. Kennedy opposed the Vietnam War primarily due to its moral implications and its impact on marginalized communities. King viewed the war as a diversion of resources away from social justice efforts in the U.S., exacerbating poverty and inequality. Kennedy echoed these sentiments, criticizing the war for its human cost and its failure to promote peace and security. Both leaders advocated for a focus on domestic issues and peaceful resolutions rather than military engagement.
