The use of "chickenhawk" is just a distraction from any real discussion on Iraq.

What I read as his argument was "just because I am not willing to risk my personal safety and comfort, that does not mean Iraq is not worth other people dying for."

Did I miss something?

I never served. Does that mean that now I should go out and pull off the "Support our Troops" signs on my vehicle? Does that mean I should also surrender the "Support our Troops" license plate on my vehicle?

Since I never served, does this mean now that I should never be allowed to have any opinion what so ever on whether or not U.S. military force should be used?

I suppose that we could logically extend this further and say that anyone who never served in the Israeli armed forces should not have any opinion about Israel using force to chase down terrorists.

How far do you want to go with this? Where is the limit?

I a man. I have never given birth. Therefore I should have no opinion in any way about abortion?
