Obama's a GOP chickenhawk last time I checked. That's what his supporters say, that he's a center/right Republican.

Decrying chickenhawks when your president of choice (Obama, whom never served) is sending troops off to die, is... well...stupid.

Never truer words:

"Republican conservatives attacked President Clinton for having questioned the Vietnam War. But while liberals like Bill Clinton were avoiding service for themselves, they didn't want anybody else to risk their lives in what they viewed as a senseless war. Republican "chickenhawks", on the other hand, promoted this war as a great cause, one in which other young men in America should expose themselves to injury and/or death.– So you can call liberal Democrats "chickens", if you like; but it usually takes a conservative to be a "chickenhawk".

Did you bother reading the OP's link? You are completely missing the point.

"Conservative Republicans who chose not to serve in the military wouldn't be called "chickenhawks" if they didn't profess to be such brave patriots and lovers of the military."

Manners you say lol
About a ten-thousandth of one per cent of the women and children killed by Bush/Cheney in Iraq.

Add to that another two million Iraqis displaced afrom their homes and you really have a mess on your hands.
