Hawks



There were two voices as far as the war in Vietnam. There were the doves, who opposed the war and the **hawks**, who supported the war. The hawks were a majority of Republicans and a handful of Southern Democrats. The Hawks believed the American military should aid and train the South Vietnam army, bomb the Ho Chi Min Trail, and the Air Force should bomb important military targets. The doves, on the other hand, wanted to leave Vietnam ASAP!!
