The whole chickenhawk label is pointless. All Americans are allowed to have an opinion about war and peace -- not just those who have served in combat.

Otherwise, our Revolution would never have happened (which, come to think of it, might be just what liberals really wish for).

If service in the Air National Guard during the Vietnam era while supporting any war since then makes someone a "chickenhawk", why haven't these liberals stuck the same label on Dick Gephardt?

Because he isn't a big hawk? Duh.
