One example: Men of the 1960's were clean shaven and had short hair (called "clean cut" men). Hippies, to show their revolt against the standards of the 1960's, grew long hair and beards. Hippies were often referred to as "Long Hairs!"
Example in the 60's: "Hey John, what's that group of men standing out there arguing about ?" Response, "Oh...just a bunch of long hairs." The subject is dropped immediately, not worth discussing any further.

What is the oldest age of troops to go to war?
Historically, there isn't a definitive age limit for soldiers, as it varies by culture and time period. However, records indicate that some armies have enlisted individuals as young as 12 or 13 years old, while others have included older individuals, sometimes in their 60s or even 70s, particularly in support roles or as reserve forces. In modern times, most countries set the minimum enlistment age at 18, though some allow recruitment at 17 with parental consent. The oldest known combat soldiers have often been volunteers who chose to serve later in life.
Who cooked the civil war soldiers food?
They cooked themselves, mostly. Sometimes though, they had mess halls where a cook cooked for them. They called the people they ate with messes or something like that. Black slaves on both factions cooked. They called them cookies because even after the Civil War blacks were still not treated right, not until the 60s did blacks become logically equal.
When did the US go into Vietnam?
In what sense? We had people over there beginning right after WWII; when the French got kicked out in 1954, we amped up our involvement, still only in an "advisory" capacity. From the late 50s through the early 60s, we steadily increased our footprint, with our "advisors" becoming more involved in combat operations. After the Tonkin Gulf incident in 1964, we began sending troops over without any fiction of "advising". In what sense?

HIPPIES
How can you tell if you are a hippie?
Those who emulate the counter-culture of the "hippies" may adopt the outward appearance, e.g. drive reproduction 1960s cars, dress like 1960s, listen to 1960s music, wear their hair like 1960s. Or they may follow similar philosophies, being disenchanted with the material world and seeking various types of personal or spiritual expression. Some New Age movements share aspects with hippie-ism. Note: The "real" hippies are either dead or in their late 60s to 70s.

Did the hippies boycott?
The Hippie Movement started in San Francisco, California and spread across most of the US during the late 60s and early 70s. Unlike the Beatniks, there were no real leaders of the Hippie Movement. The Beatniks were basically an intellectual movement that rejected the norms of society. The Hippies simply preferred an alternate lifestyle from the mainstream and had radical beliefs dealing with love, drug usage, war, and lifestyle. In that respect you could say that the Hippies boycotted the mainstream. Hippies came from all different backgrounds but all were young and many came from wealthy families. Some rejected their parent's lifestyle while others were simply outcasts of society and could only fit in with the Hippie population. Timothy Leary became the spokesman for the Hippies concerning drug usage. He favored the use of LSD and his famous admonition to the youth of America was "tune in, turn on, and drop out." Bob Dylan became the major symbol and spokesman of Hippie culture as well as other singers, like Janis Joplin.
