The criticism of the war in Vietnam started out mainly as a conservative reaction to President Johnson’s policy of fighting for a limited purpose, a negotiated peace, rather than all out victory in Vietnam!. Those critics included Senator Barry Goldwater, retired military men, and even some extreme members of the John Birch Society!. These people were known as “hawks!.” As the President escalated the war effort, and became a hawk himself, his chief critics became known as “doves” and included antiwar protesters, college students and faculty, liberal Democrats, and many other people in various walks of life who felt that the war was immoral, dragging on to no benefit for the US, and was causing increased casualty lists to mount!. Many believed the US was fighting a war against the wishes of the majority of the Vietnamese people!. These critics felt the war was a civil war in Vietnam between north and south and we had no business interfering!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
