Examples of activities labeled as "Armchair Warrior" include advocating sending troops to settle a conflict, lobbying to keep defense jobs to make outdated military equipment as part of the Military Industrial Complex or to make political messages on radio or Television talk shows in favor or using armed forces in a conflict over trying diplomatic channels.
An early example of using the term "Armchair Warrior" appeared in a Twilight Zone episode originally aired on March 3, 1963 called No Time Like the Past. Rod Serling wrote a speech for the episode that is made by a time traveler directed towards a banker calling for sending young soldiers to fight a war against American Indians in the late 1800‘s.[1] Serling had received a Purple Heart for injuries incurred while serving as a paratrooper in World War II.
Don Henley referred to Armchair Warriors in the song "The End of the Innocence".

We had to stay in Iraq or Afghanistan till we complete our
Mission, usually these are the armchair warriors, that take this position that
are not in arms way. Their reasons for staying really are not based on facts
such as Iraq has WMD, Iraq were the people that attacked us on 911, Iraq is the
center of terrorism, Not true except our presence in Iraq brought them to Iraq.
‘Jihad’ is a
world wild terrorist group that has suicide bombers killing people in many
countries. If we stay till Iraq can be strong enough to defend themselves it
should only take around 250 years such as America did to become strong. In the meantime
thousands of young soldiers from around the world will die as well as thousands
of innocent civilians. Every time, we kill or capture 10 insurgents 20 more
will replace them till we leave Islam territory. How long has Israel been free
from terrorist? Bring our troops home alive and have them defend our 15,000
mile border here in the United States. Let’s solve our own problems before we
try to solve other Countries.
The Armchair warriors and people displaying bumper stickers
saying “Support Our Troops” How dare they divide nations and accuse any red
blooded American not supporting our troops. They do support our troops all
times defending the United States from invasions and for freedom, and they
support our troops coming home alive and in one piece. How come the great armchair
warriors do not want us spend the 15 billion dollars a week we are spending in
Iraq and spend it help starving children and dying people in 3rd world countries,
millions die each year, More that Sadam killed and Hitler killed all together.
But the Armchair warriors and the Hawks
do not seem to care about them, after all it is not shock
and awe, not enough male testosterone to feed the hunger, help the sick as
there is to blowing another human being to bits and if there is a little
collateral damage, so be it, it is after all for “ Truth, Justice, and the
American Way. So be brave you bummer sticker dis players as you shop in the
malls and sleep in peace knowing that somehow we are keeping the big bad boogie
men away as you here of another young solider that died in Iraq.
And remember, that there are thousands and thousands of ‘jihad’ terrorist are
around the World and here in the United States, not just in Iraq or
Afghanistan. Bring our Troops from all the Middle east, home Alive! We left
Iraq and the bombs keep blowing men, woman, and children, to pieces almost
daily since we left. And no matter how long we stayed beyond the 10 Years, Iraq
and all the Middle East will return to the same condition it was before we
arrived, except thousands of dead Americans and allies, 250,000 dead civilians,
over one million displaced Iraq’s. Let us not forget all the building, and infrastructures,
that were destroyed. We should be honest and change the slogan from, “The
Nation Builders," to "Nation Destroyers.
