When a person enthusiastically backs war, but leaves the actual fighting to others, even though they are capable of joining the military themselves. When asked why they aren’t in uniform, a Chicken Hawk has a long list of weak excuses.. but the real answer is they’re afraid.

“Man we ought to stay over in the Middle East until ALL of those terrorists are done for!”
“So why aren’t YOU over there?”
“Oh well, I’m in college, and I can’t take the pay cut, what with my car payment..”
“Ah I see. A Chicken Hawk.”
