Why does the author says that being against the Vietnam war in college was ""entirely an intellectual activity""?

This question refers to "On the Rainy River," which is part of The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien.

In this story, the speaker describes how he reacted when he got his draft notice at the age of 21. The speaker tells us that, before this event, being against the Vietnam war in college was "entirely an intellectual activity." What the speaker means is that he did not actually take any concrete actions of opposition. Instead, the war was only present in his mind as a situation that he intellectually understood, but that was very far from the reality of his life and that did not concern him greatly.

hey there

use of language is very important in order to write in a good way. each literary genre has its different exploitation of language and, therefore, many differences and similarities can emerge. shakespeare's work (romeo and juliet) is a sample of a drama. its language is full of dialogue to describe the beauty of first love in people; everything it's pink color. it briefly describes fictional scenes and situations. on the other hand, the calypso borealis, by john muirs, it's narrative essay: its language is full of descriptions to describe an experience, a real experience. hyperbole is not used as in drama genre. he falls in love with discovering a real place and his direct feelings.
