Turkish term or phrase: Şahinler
Arkadaşlar, gecenin 4 buçuğunda beynim durmuş durumda sözlük karıştırdım ancak sözlüklerde yok. Sorunları şiddet kullanımı ile çözme eğiliminde olan gruplara şahinler diyorlar. Bunun İngilizce'deki karşılığı ne acaba?

Saygılarımla,
ATB Translation
Türkiye
Hawks
Explanation:
Şahinler --> Hawks (yalnız, şiddeti savunmaları gerekmiyor; sertlik yanlısı, ödünsüz bir tavrın savunulması anlamında da kullanılıyor bildiğim kadarıyla)
Güvercinler --> Doves

Merriam-Webster Online:

Hawk

3 : one who takes a militant attitude and advocates immediate vigorous action; especially : a supporter of a war or warlike policy -- compare DOVE
