Where the hell was Dick Cheney in Vietnam?

Wolf Blitzer is interviewing Max Cleland about Dick Cheney's remarks on the Democrats wanting a deadline. Cleland doesn't pull any punches, and points out how bad it is to have incompetent chickenhawks calling the shots.

"Cleland served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War, attaining the rank of Captain. He was awarded the Silver Star and the Bronze Star for valorous action in combat." - Wikipedia

"Cheney was of military age and a supporter of the Vietnam War but he did not serve in the war, applying for and receiving five draft deferments." - Wikipedia

Karl Rove same draft deferments, same military statments.

Yup..Chickenhawks of a feather, flock together.

Hey QM.. Let's here your brilliant sage response to this video, or it this too clear and concise for you.

He's waiting for the official line from Ailes.

does Dick Cheney like twinks or is there another definition of chickenhawk?

Chickenhawk (also chicken hawk and chicken-hawk) is a political epithet used in the United States to criticize a politician, bureaucrat, or commentator who strongly supports a war or other military action, but has never personally been in a war, especially if that person is perceived to have actively avoided military service when of draft age.
