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.

Supporters of war are called what?

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.

Was President Nixon a Dove or a Hawk?

The concept of Doves and Hawks didn't exist when there were MODERATE republicans. Since the parties have become so polarized and unwilling to compromise, our country has essentially gone to heck in a hand basket.

The Dove and the Hawks?

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 A Dove is someone is pro-peace, and believed in the withdrawn of American soldiers in the Vietnam War.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.


What is a hawk considered as?

a bird of prey


Who supported the war in Vietnam was known as?

Today, you can probably get away with the term "hawk." But during the war, if you said anything "pro" about the war, the person you were talking to might cut you off and say, "Hawk, eh!" And you wouldn't know what they were talking about! For the common man in the 1960's, "hawk" meant "bomb them back into the stone age!" (USAF General Curtis LeMay's words, when referring to North Vietnam). The term "hawk" must've evolved over the years...to mean patriotic, or looking for adventure (war). Maybe "doves" now mean "anyone with an objective view on war." But, from the common draft age teenager's point of view in the 1960's; a hawk was a "invade North Vietnam and nuke em!" Type of man...and a dove was a "oh let there be peace!" Type of guy.
