Hawks

the Hawks were the side that wanted to increase military force and send more troops

into Vietnam to win the war

The Doves on the other hand, wanted the

opposite and wanted the troops to be withdrawn

and settle the war with peace

The Doves

Beginning in 1967,Congress divided America into to camps : hawks and doves

.The mostly conservation hawks supported Johnson’s war policy.

Believing strongly in the containment of communism and the domino theory ,

they accepted rising troop levels, escalating costs, and increasing number

of battlefield deaths. For hawks , Vietnam was a crucial front in the Cold war. Doves , however, broke Johnson's

war policy. A diverse group of liberal politicians , pacifists , student radical ,

and civil right leaders , doves questioned the war on both moral and strategic

grounds. For them , the conflict was a localized civil war , not a vital Cold war

battleground .
