Why is it that hippies of the 60's are example of counter culture?

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.

Did the hippies effect the Vietnam war?

Many in the "Counter Culture" opposed the war in Vietnam. There were protests, both peaceful and violent. The most tragic protest occured at Kent State University when students were fired upon by National Guard troops. Some were killed and some of those killed were simply innocent bystanders walking to class. Such protest led to a questioning of our policy in Vietnam. The war became such a dividing point that it drove President Lyndon Baines Johnson to declare he would not run for re-election, knowing that he would probably not win such an election. Many protestors mistakenly took out their frustration on the troops returning from Vietnam. Many were attacked as "baby killers" and were not treated as heros, or protectors of our freedom, as the men and women fighting in Iraq and Afganistan today. Once the US pulled out of Vietnam, the military strategy for fighting such a war was re-examined to prevent a future situation for the government and the military. The "Counter Culture" also led to more questioning by citizens of the government's activity militarially. It led to changes in policy both militarially and politically.
