'Chicken hawks' vs. chickens

If pro-war folks who haven't served in the military (including yours truly) are "chicken hawks," are anti-war folks who haven't served in the military merely chickens?

And whence the presumption on the part of so many non-veterans in the media that they are remotely qualified to discuss the war, if they insist that those who disagree with them must be veterans in order to do so?

I agree completely.

Amd those who have done neither ought not to pretend to know more about it than the men who have done both.
