Hippies and Yippies
Hippies ...
The Viet Cong was a subversive group in Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
They joined a group of hippies
No. Believe it or not, hippie(s) are described in the dictionary. A partial description; hippies rejected established traditions and values.
Of course the Vikings
Some "construction workers (hard hats)" made the news during the war, supporting the fighting men in Vietnam; some muscle was used during this support.
During the Vietnam War, WWII, etc. all US military women were either WACs, WAVES, or WAFs.
During the Vietnam War, there were many people who lived in South Vietnam who supported and fought for the North Vietnamese. They were known as the Viet Cong.
Buddhist monks launched these protests.
It does not help to answer a question with a question, unfortunatley however, I think we must ask, "what is a hippie?" While I served in the Vietnam war, I also served in the Korean War and WWII. During WWII I think the hippie would have been more properly named "Zoot Suiter" by virtue of his style of dress. (Chains, finger-tip length sports coats, peg leg pants, pork pie hats etc.). As I remember they were inoffensive and mildly upset with the war. Very young service men (kids) didn't like them and normally couldn't tell you why. Generally speaking if there was trouble between them it was because the service men started it. Then it was a simple matter of "getting even." During the Korean War period, the "hippie" was generally characterized as young people lost in an idealistic dream world, speaking out and dreaming of a life in which there was no sickness or sadness or poverty or work. They generally met at neat little coffee shops and read their own poetry or sang their own folk music. I always felt it was their avowed mission to drive the older generation "nuts." They were for the most part good young people who eventually grew up and became good and responsible citizens. As for the Vietnam era hippie - I am not sure there were any. They could not by any stretch of the imagination be confused with "protesters." And protesters in no way would confuse themselves with hippies. Protesters, were deadly serious with a deadly mission and even though I am a retired military man with 26 years active service - I could not fault them for speaking out against a tragic, useless loss of life.
