No it means that since you're not personally risking anything, you shouldn't be so cavalier about the waging of war.
In this circumstance, a war has already started and so this is not the same as 2003 where we pre-planned for months before preemptively attacking Iraq. The sense of urgency is quite different, wouldn't you say?
Also, the line dividing right and wrong is a lot less blurry in this case - do you disagree?

And in terms of what rationally has to happen, I think anyone can weigh in. My point was you brought up the idea of cowardice, and since you're not going to be gracing the battlefield with your presence, from my position, I'd say you're not any less cowardly. How is saying we should send a bunch of people to kill and die on your behalf some how more brave?
Cowardice is more than just fear of physical harm and battle confrontations. I've seen "tough" guys who were absolutely petrified of public speaking and refuse to participate for fear of being judged. In the movie a Few Good Men, Demi Moore chastised Tom Cruise as a coward because he wouldn't put Colonel Jessup on the stand. Being a coward is more than just fear of physical harm - it's also fear of career damage, being judged, standing/eating alone, and being outside of the pack. Biden is definitely fearful of all these things, and a real man isn't. He can't handle the political risk and so always chooses the safest route like a real p***y.

Okay, if that's how arguments are reduced, then fine. Nobody is preventing 19 year olds from choosing a different career.
