chicken hawk
Farmer's aerial nemesis
Chicken hawk has three distinct meanings.
It's a general term for hawks that prey on poultry, though ornithologists don't recognize it as a specific species.
In American politics, chicken hawk is a derisive label for someone who advocates military action but avoided serving themselves: The senator is a chicken hawk who dodged the draft.
