The crew cut was adopted by the United States armed forces during World War II, and became a civilian fashion for men during the early 1950s. The cut was felt to be "clean-cut, athletic, and patriotic". http://go.hrw.com/eolang/pdfs/ch8-5.pdf By the mid 1960s the crewcut was generally seen as a mark of conservative politicial opinions, as opposed to the longer hair styles favored by those less trusting of the government.
