Wars, started by old men who know each other, that then send young men who don't know each other, to die!Context matters. Thankfully, your clip included it. The word "warhawk". While people in war do sometimes face firing squads, its far more common they face the rifles of their enemy in combat. Which is the context in which he meant it. The oft spoken idea that those who are eager to send soldiers off to war should face the horrors of war themselves.
Its called intellectual honesty. Where you don't ignore obvious stuff that gets in the way of making your point.
