Secession talk sure brings out the chickenhawks.

The term (chickenhawk)indicates that the person in question is hypocritical for personally dodging a draft or otherwise shirking their duty to their country during a time of armed conflict while advocating that others do so. Generally, the implication is that chickenhawks lack the moral character to participate in war themselves, preferring to ask others to support, fight and perhaps die in an armed conflict.

“chickenhawks.”

Agreed. I like to joke about CA, OR, and WA leaving, but that’s about it ... a joke. I also joke about trading Pittsburgh (my home) to Europe.

Many chickenhawks have never seen violence let alone the kind of violence war brings. It’s one thing to say “we’re locked and loaded”, but it’s a whole other ballgame to actually “want” that to happen. They usually have zero idea of the horrors that they will face.
