"...who don't respect those who volunteered to serve?"

My understanding of the term is different than yours:
I thought it referred to those who think war is macho and cool -- but somehow avoid going themselves.

You know, guys like the ones already mentioned plus Billy Kristol (Irv's boy), G.W.Bush (who sorta hung out in the 'Bama Air Guard during the Nam thing) and even, to a somewhat lesser extent, Billy Klintoon who, along with his moron of a SecDef, Les Aspin, got about a score of our guys killed in the Mog after sending them in for "nation building" WITHOUT the armor they needed to do the job safely.


Standing by for the inevitable lesson in lexicography.

You won't get it from me, try Democratic Underground. They talk about chickenhawks all the time.

So you were in the USAF? Did you fly? In what?

I'm willing to bet that Bush risked his life flying the F-106 more than you did.
