You may remember, years ago “chicken hawks” were defined as politicians who want the United States to go to war but have themselves studiously avoided the opportunity to serve in the military and have no close relatives serving or being drafted.
It's always easier to send someone else's children to fight. Keep that in mind as you watch the votes in Congress on intervention in Syria.
