You see them constantly hawking war on TV these days, whether they are politicians, journalists, or "experts", ready to kill thousands in other nations, while sending young, working class Americans off to fight for corporate America. Yet, they all seem to have made sure that they were never in the line of fire when they had the opportunity.

About the New Hampshire Gazette Chickenhawk Database

No doubt this list is incomplete. Readers may nominate overlooked chickenhawks: bellicose, conservative males the right age for a live-round dust-up, yet curiously devoid of a DD-214, the paper proof of military service in a combat zone. Sorry, Dan and George, safe, cushy National Guard slots don't count.
