27. He served but never got his hands dirty.
Yes, I realize I am nit-picking about different degrees of what makes a chickenhawk; but I am going to do it anyway.

Graham never saw the ugliness of battle close-up, and even in Gulf War 1, he never flew any bombing missions, etc. He doesn't know what it's like to put his life on the line. Most of all, he never saw, to quote Wes Clark, "the pornography of war"; which would include civilian death, rapes, and destruction.

He obviously doesn't give a rip about what this war is doing to the institution of the Army and Marine Corp and what horrors it has inflicted on the military families.

He comes across as an Airforce desk jockey.
