    Well he's surely on his knees for all of them, and applying a fresh coat
    of lip gloss for the diplomacy he's about to deliver.

    Talk about an insider threat.

    The WWII generation would be astonished at what the Baby Boomer
    generation did to this place - all that sacrifice, undone by a bunch of
    cheese gargling ass monkeys.

    Chickenhawks, and a draft dodger

    Chickenhawk (politics) --- Generally, the implication is that
    chickenhawks lack bravery to participate in war themselves, preferring
    to ask others to support, fight, and die in an armed conflict.
