The Great Society was NOT the result of the Vietnam War. They were a set of domestic programs and the main objective of the programs was the elimination of poverty and inequality. Medicare is one of the programs that came about as a result of the programs. Federal funding for education was also part of the Great Society. In the last two or three months much of these programs have been eliminated or will be changed.

Why did support for the Great Society decline in the late 1960s?
One of the reasons support for the Great Society declined in the late 1960's were issues with the Vietnam war. The Vietnam war greatly reduced the amount of political power that could be used promoting The Great Society. Johnson felt that he was going to be criticized either way. If he elected to stay out of the war and work on his Great Society programs at home he would be criticized as a coward for not promoting the promise of containment. This would not only hurt him but the nation as well. If he entered the war it would essentially kill any chance of the Great Society working to its full extent, he felt that his obligation as President was to the nation, and therefore chose to enter the war, which damaged his Great Society.
