Chickenhawk?

Why is it that some of the most vocal supporters of Bush (and the war in Iraq in particular) are averse to enlisting and fighting for their own cause?

C'mon, do your part. And as a bonus, you get to fire real assualt rifles, just like the ones you get in America's Army and Counter-Strike. Plus, you get to make money, and have a job for once. It sure beats just having a couple magnets on the car your parents bought you, right?

"Averse" means "not inclined to."

You understood the statement as stating that "The most vocal Bush supporters are the ones who are most likely to enlist," while if you understood the word "averse" you would interpret the statement as "The most vocal Bush supporters are the ones who are most NOT likely to enlist."

In fact, you were trying to discredit an opinion that was probably (unless you were just flexing your e-penis and trying to look smart) the same one that you hold.
