As for the deceased Charlie Kirk himself, he NEVER served in any branch of the US military.

You know, there used to be a term for fellows like that not so long ago. They were called Chickenhawks. I suspect that calling life-long civilians who NEVER served in the military Chickenhawks is taboo in Trump-world and the rest of the Republican Party.
