Examples
- chicken hawk - a derogatory term for someone (usually a politician or political commentator) who enthusiastically promotes a war that they do not personally intend to fight, and who has no military experience (for example, Barack Obama, who unlike his predecessors never served in uniform and likes to fight illegal wars.). Some argue that it's better to be a chickenhawk than just plain chicken.
