Re-turd-lican chickenhawks are everywhere (Tancredo, et al)
Does anyone know if there is a well-researched list of US Congressional Reps, Senators, Presidents, VPs, and talking heads (who were eligible for the draft) that shows who served (Webb, Kerry), who got deferments (Tancredo, Cheney, Limbaugh), and who got appointments to the National Guard (Quayle, Bush the Dumber). I've looked and can't find a truly non-partisan list. All I can find are those compiled by people who seem to have an agenda. I wish I could find one that cuts across party lines.

It always seems that those who scream for war the loudest never really served, while those who have faced enemy fire are the ones who favor diplomacy over aggression.

1. There used to be a complete list of deferred chickenhawks...
and the reasons for their deferments in one of the New Hampshire newspapers...this was early on in the Bush misadministration.

Someone here may still have a copy of that article.

4. The republitard party wreaks of draft dodging cowards - the list
http://www.liberalslikechrist.org/about/chickenhawks.html

The ** CHICKENHAWKS **
< "Chicken Hawks" are people who are enthused about their country engaging WAR – which is why they are called "hawks", – but who make sure that their own butts are nowhere near the fighting – which makes them "Chicken Hawks" . – >
"I am angry that so many of the sons of the powerful and well-placed... managed to wangle slots in Reserve and National Guard units. . . Of the many tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class discrimination strikes me as the most damaging to the ideal that all Americans are created equal and owe equal allegiance to their country."
(Colin Powell's autobiography, My American Journey, p. 148)
