I don't mean to make light of your post ... I think it actually paints most Americans in a bad color, since in stark contrast to WWII, very few of us have anything at all to do with directly "supporting the troops" or give up anything at all to participate in winning modern wars.

So I don't mean to make light ... but, um, to me "chicken hawk" has always referred to an older gay man with a taste for twinkie. LOL
