During the Vietnam War, America was split in half (not literally of course). One side was called the Hawks and they were the side that wanted to increase military force and send more troops into Vietnam to win the war. The Doves on the otherhand, wanted the opposite and wanted the troops to be withdrawn and settle the war with peace.
