"ChickenHawk is a term of art used by the anti war left and right to describe pro war "neo cons" who have never served in the armed forces.

The antithesis would be the chickenshits who likewise never served but insist on using the term chickenhawk."

So, does this mean you haven't served?

[jwalsh07]

Nope.

It's even worse than that. Look for further refinements. I hear the comments at work, some from people that were ready to leave for Canada if they were drafted:

So, did you serve in the military?

Ok, was it during wartime?

Ok, did you "see combat"?

Pathetic. Pretty soon, (from a sarcastic standpoint), anyone who was not in a combat arms branch, during wartime, and did not kill someone, will be considered a chicken-hawk by the anti-war left.
