I’m sick of using the word coward to describe bullies. They aren’t cowards. Surely, they hastle the weak and avoid the strong, but who wouldn’t? What, you have to lose all prudence to be courageous?

No, bullies aren’t cowards. It takes a certain amount of courage to murder people and/or enter combat, even when you’re on the bad side.

Well, Che may have had "courage" in some respects. However, it did not take courage for him to point a pistol at the heads of shackled men and pull the trigger.

Also, he attempted to bargain for his life when he had been captured by the Bolivians.

Courageous? Not so much.

you miss the piont of the piece — he said that Guevara never faced anyone in battle and that his victims were all tied up for him. Surely that’s not courageous?
