Courage enlarges, cowardice diminishes resources. In desperate straits the fears of the timid aggravate the dangers that imperil the brave - Christian Nevell Bovee 1820-1904

The greatest braggarts are usually the biggest cowards- Jean Jacques Rousseau 1712-1778, Swiss Political Philosopher, Educationist, Essayist

I don't know that this holds in a military context, Generals Patton and Schwartzkopf are famous braggarts but surely not cowards.

Come on man. This thread is dirty but there are limits.

What about morals? A higher purpose? The idea that some things are greater than the individual? We're human beings not rats.

Really ? Maybe BE is remotely civilised but humanity is an apalling cesspit of greed, nastiness, anger, cruelty and sickness.
