A couple of big bloggers again raise the issue of chickenhawkery...and, IMHO, I think this is as good a time as any, given recent news like Herr Kissinger bestowing his personal kiss of death on the idea of "victory," the nascent civil war erupting, the recent reports of "options" like "go big, go long, or go home," Shrub's ever more ignorant and irrelevent statements...or the fact that deaths are increasingly dismissed as mere stastical data, etc., etc.
It's bad enough to bark for war without having the first clue as to the actual, awful consequences (and, in yet another example of propaganda being just as effective by omission as commission, the media for the most part ignores the subject of chickenhawkery). But this generation of wingnuttia has taken it further: not only don't they back their words up with actions, they are the genuine "cutters-and-runners" when the chips are truly down.
They've got no sense of honor...and even less of decency.
