Now that Iraq is calming down, will Chickenhawks support the troops and stop smooching Bush's hiney?

Bet now that Iraq is getting better, Chickenhawks will say "oh yea, man, I was for the war the whole time... was hiding under my bed while the real men and women were out doing what I was too cowradly to do! Now where's my tax cut I earned it!" Typical. Where were you Chickenhawks during the tough years? Well??

Chickenhawk (also chicken hawk and chicken-hawk) is a political epithet used in the United States to criticize a politician, bureaucrat, or commentator who strongly supports a war or other military action, but has never personally been in a war, especially if that person is perceived to have actively avoided military service when of draft age.

The term is meant to indicate that the person in question is cowardly or hypocritical for personally avoiding combat in the past while advocating that others go to war in the present. Generally, the implication is that "chickenhawks" lack the experience, judgment, or moral standing to make decisions about going to war. Often, there is a further connotation that "chickenhawks" falsely believe that their support for military action is a mark of personal courage analogous to actual combat, thereby demeaning those actually serving while elevating themselves.[1]

So you are saying that Bill Clinton is a Chickehawk
he refused to enter the service when drafted so I suppose
he will be in line to kiss Bush's hiney.

When did you serve in the military? I served in the

US Army 1966 - 1969

You probably served in the Girl Scouts and spent all of
your time skipping rope
