Well, one of us is at least partially wrong, and I'm fairly certain it isn't me. Courage is one thing. Honor is another. Most leaders and battle imms hold the cabal to a standard of honor, and *everybody* should be holding *himself* to a standard of courage. I have never heard the word "courage" used while a 'rager's been reamed out for gangbanging. Because that's not what courage means. Being willing to toss your love handle onto the cutting table may be courageous, but it has nothing to do with one-on-one combat.
