It just tickles the hell out of neo-cons to send the flower of our youth off to war when they never had the balls to go themselves.  They wrap themselves in the American flag and berate Democrats and liberals for wanting to "cut and run"; it upsets them to lose their chance to play war with the lives of our soldiers and the lives of the Iraqi people.  This from politicians, the majority of whom, never served.  

Did you ever wonder about their military record?  You'd be surprised at the records of some who had the audacity to condemn Bill Clinton for legal deferment and laugh at Al Gore for his military duty.  Then, of course, they sneer at John Kerry, who could have sit out the war on a ship, but asked to be reassigned to Vietnam, where he served with great distinction.  Never mind that not one of the Bush brothers saw active duty:  George was Air National Guard, when you could find him; Neil, Jeb and Marvin all were given "deferments."
  
Some of these wonder boys who are generous with the lives of others even though they avoided service themselves are such notables as Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, John Ashcroft, William Kristol, Lee "I'm Proud to Be An American" Greenwood, Dan Quayle, Trent Lott, Tom DeLay, Newt Gingrich, Joseph Scarborough, Jerry Fallwell, Jeb Bush, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, David Limbaugh (Rush's brother), Bill O'Reilly, Richard Cheney, Carl Rove, and George W. Bush. 

You can get a more complete list at the New Hampshire Gazette's Chicken Hawk Database.  I also recommend you do a search on chicken hawks around the internet and I suggest you read this report from PBS Nightline; it includes the letter Bill Clinton wrote to Colonel Holmes as well as the transcript of the interview of the then President-elect by Ted Koppel.
  
I think it is also worthy of note here to say there are some 30,000 sites out there that tell the anti-Clinton story of his "draft dodging" while there are very few that tell the truth.  It's also interesting that a high percentage of those 30,000 tell exactly the same story in exactly the same format... right down to highlighting the same exact phrases and using the same misspellings.
