The antithesis would be the chickenshits who likewise never served but insist on using the term chickenhawk.
ROFL, ROFL, ROFL.
Thanks for the information.
I have never understood that position.
One of the tenets of our government is that CIVILIANS are in charge of the military. Of course the president is expected to appoint people with military experience to certain positions, and he is to consider their advice and suggestions, but he makes the overall-view decisions.
A president may or may not have combat (or military) experience, but combat or service are neither legal nor moral requirements.
An analogy might be:
- Since Bush has never had an abortion, he therefore isnt QUALIFIED to
..speak or act on that issue.
