It may be that this means that the "chicken hawk" gibe is hitting home somewhere.

Worthless as Hitchens is as a theoretician, he probably talks to people who can and do think, and they may have uttered the occasional complaint even while striding from victory to victory. The class nature of the difference between those who give the orders and those who do the dirty work of killing and dying seems like rather flammable stuff.
