Any person who is a proponent of a war while not enlisting and going off to fight in said war. A kind of hypocrite. Really, a chickenhawk is one who says: "it's okay for other mother's sons and children's fathers to go off and get shot, dismembered and incinerated, but me, I'm too much of a wilting daisy to go off and break a nail trying to load one of those gun thingies."
My campus is swarming with chickenhawks. They wave signs saying "support our troops," but ask them to sign their flabby asses up and go take the risks they demand others take, they run like sissy cowards and cheer for Bush while the Tigris runs red with the blood of braver men.

1. Any person who, in an official capacity, sends other people out routinely for dangerous activities while himself having never been exposed to the same risky behavior. This usually occurs in an authoritarian, militarized system and comes with constant propaganda in which the leader fashions himself as an ultimately benevolent crusader. The film "American History X" is an excellent, small-scale example.
2. An adult male who behaves in a sexual and often predatory manner towards adolescent males. This usage of the term is becoming archaic, in favor of "pedophile."

an older male who generally preys on younger, adolescent males. Chickenhawks will sometimes trade chunks of hours away, from their job, so they can seek the attention of young men, all while doing so with an adequate alibi. They are sometimes aircraft pilots so they can scour wide areas looking for new crops of innocent young men. Also, they frequently drive large SUV's in order to take potential mates to remote locations, to seek sexual favors.
William, the chickenhawk, frequently attends figure skating events, because he enjoys watching the young men gallivanting around in tights.
