They're nicknames for political figures, supporters of war are Hawks, supporters of peace are Doves.
War prevailing over peace.
It means the garage door is closed. OR, There is a theory called A predator-prey model with predators using hawk and dove tactics. Predator individuals can use two behavioral tactics to dispute a prey when they meet, the classical hawk and dove tactics. Each individual can use both tactics along its life. Predator extinction occurs when all predators are hawk while there is coexistence when predators are mixed hawk and dove. I see this and a warning that to many hawks in the world create an imbalance and that when the door is shut to the dove the world is in trouble.
both :/ he was sharp with his words and to get his rites he was like a dove
The term "Dove" referred to anybody that preferred peace over war. The term "Hawk" referred to anybody that spoke aggressively about war. Examples: 1. A man says, "...we oughta bomb North Vietnam back into the stone age!" This man is a hawk. 2. A man says, "...there must be a way of obtaining peace without so much bloodshed." This man is a dove. Note: The statement about bombing N. Vietnam back into the stone age was actually said by USAF GEN Curtis LeMay in 1965. Nixon took him to his word in 1972...with B52s!
Because he was the one that started the war.
The opposite of a war hawk is a peace dove. A war hawk is someone who is a proponent of war, and a peace dove is someone who is opposed to war.

The labeling of "the Doves" or "the Hawks" is a reference to two different political parties during the Vietnam War. They were not the type of political to vote for, but one to join. Your choices were limited, either to be a "Dove" or to be a "Hawk". A Dove is someone is pro-peace, and believed in the withdrawn of American soldiers in the Vietnam War. A Doves' logic is to fight with peace and words(debates, articles, journalism, etc.) and not to fight with weapons and soldiers. To be a Hawk was to be pro-war, to support the sending of American troops to fight in the Vietnam War. The logic of a Hawk is to fight through war, weapons, and to sacrifice soldiers and government money to win the Vietnam War. People today still reference to the terms of being a "Dove" or "Hawk" but they are better known terms by adults rather then young adults.
a win, hawks refer to those that want war. Once war has started hawk and dove ceases to be a real issue.
