WWII was a very popular war, once we were in it, and there were no protesters. (Well, I wasn't around then. There may have been some and you just don't read about them today, because they didn't write about them at the time.)
-Before- we got into WWII, before Pearl Harbor, there were groups that believed we should not get involved. The best-known of these was The America First Committee, which apparently was an ultra-conservative group that was sympathetic with the NAZIs. Lots of famous people were in this group; their spokesman was Charles Lindbergh, the famous aviator. Ex-president Gerald Ford was also in it.
In recent years the slogan 'America First' was revived by Pat Buchanan. He said that America First was successful in keeping the US out of the war until Hitler attacked Russia, which made Russia bear the brunt of the war rather than the US.

The world does not need another global war but peace must prevail. The next war could make men extinct due to the use of nuclear arms.

I protest WWII. It's pretty much Hitler's fault for the cause of WWII.
WWI made more sense.
