That's right: Not one single American chicken hawk is over there helping the Ukrainians to defend their country against Russia's attack. They are all sitting here at home, safely ensconced in their living rooms or offices.

How many American chicken hawks are there? That's, of course, impossible to say. But you can find lots of them in Congress and in the executive branch. You can also find them on the commentary pages of America's mainstream newspapers.

Oh, yes, they are exclaiming against the horrors of the invasion. They are expressing their deepest sympathies with the people of Ukraine. They are calling on President Biden to impose maximum sanctions on Russia. But they are all still here at home rather than over there helping the Ukrainian people in their hour of need.

It would not have been difficult during the past month to catch a flight to Europe and make one's way to Ukraine. Chicken hawks could have gone over as a gigantic group and offered their services to the Ukrainian military or just to the government. But no, the chicken hawks have chosen to remain here at home.

The New York Times reports, "Ukraine's defense minister, Oleksiy Reznikov, called on all Ukrainian civilians to join the fight and enlist with territorial defense units."
