The word "smoke" meant "white phosperous" when requested over the radio. When detonated it created a pure white cloud, and was often used to mark positions (enemy positions). It was referred to as a "marking round" by the artillerymen. Multi-colored smoke grenades and aerial rockets were used to mark and/or identity friendly and enemy positions. Victor smoke (violet); Yankee smoke (yellow); Romeo smoke (red); Smoke (Willie Pete-White Phosperous).

What was the name given to Americans who supported strong US military efforts in Vietnam?
This 21st century generation is probably "evolving" the 1960's term of "Hawk" into a "supporting the troops" meaning. Hawks during the Vietnam War were, "bomb them back into the stone age!" types, that also advocated invading North Vietnam and using atomic bombs to win the war. Doves during the Viet War were, "peace at any price." It is worth noting that the term "war hawk" is not exclusive to the Vietnam War, but is used to designate supporters of ANY armed conflict.

What is the deffinion of ionic bonbs?
Iron bombs are used today to separate them from atomic/flame/and smart bombs. During WW1 & WW2 there was only a need to use the terms fire bombs or general purpose bombs (High Explosive). During the Korean War, we had to separate the atomic bomb from fire bombs and general purpose bombs. During the Vietnam War, the same separations had to be termed. By the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, SMART Weapons had to be added to the ATOMIC, FIRE, GENERAL PURPOSE bombs...so the accepted term for General Purpose (High Explosive) bombs came to be known as IRON BOMBS; aka Dumb Bombs.
