Joseph Hooker.
It came from a document where his name was preceded by the word 'fighting', and there was a line-break which made it look like as though he was being dubbed 'Fighting Joe', and the name stuck.
Curiously, he did not appreciate his new nickname. 'Fighting' was not regarded as a good attribute for a General. The rank-and-file would often be jailed for fighting. It suggested a rowdy individual.

Was the Vietnam war a Civil War or a conquest?
It was a conquest. It was NOT a civil war because a CIVIL WAR is fought by ONE NATION against itself. Example: Two brothers fighting in their own home would be a family civil war; they are ONE FAMILY; the American Civil War (US Civil War) was ONE NATION fighting ITSELF. Which is also why the US Civil War was NOT a declared war...because President Lincoln (the North) could not very well be expected to declare war upon himself! NORTH Vietnam was a separate country; SOUTH Vietnam was a separate country.
