More than that, they wanted to use nukes and invade the north. Anything to win.
It is not accurate to say that all hawks wanted the US to send more troops into Vietnam and increase bombing. While some hawks believed in escalating military involvement, others favored alternative strategies such as increased bombing or counterinsurgency efforts. The position of hawks varied within the broader debate about the US's role in Vietnam.

Patriotism; meaning support and defense of one's country. Odds are, you're most likely looking for the popular term "hawk" which has already been blown out of proportion by the current generation, because it sounds better (sounds cool). But used in the Vietnam era, a hawk was considered patriotic...but was also used to really mean AGGRESSIVE...as eagles, falcons, and hawks are birds of prey...and are aggressive killers. Thus the term "hawk" for "bombing (North Vietnam) back into the stone age!" Words of USAF Gen Curtis LeMay in 1965.
True.
they were known as the Hawks. people who supported sending more troops in were the hawks and people who wanted to pull them out were the doves
Yes; "Hawks" was the term given to supporters of the conflict in Vietnam, while those opposing the war were termed "Doves". Hawks believed that any withdrawal of troops would lead to a sure surrender, and therefore advocated sending more troops into the country. Doves, on the other hand, staged massive demonstrations of protest demanding immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops.
they were Hawks
During the Vietnam War, America was split in half (not literally of course). One side was called the Hawks and they were the side that wanted to increase military force and send more troops into Vietnam to win the war. The Doves on the otherhand, wanted the opposite and wanted the troops to be withdrawn and settle the war with peace.
