Is it then cowardice to fire ICBMS from North Dakota? is it then cowardice to fly bombers from Ohio to serbia? to fire tomahawk missles from the sea against a country with no navy? To target, again, from afar, a country's economic structure and thus its civilian population, such as electricity, water, media and factories. (many of these with HAZMAT and other dangerous chemicals)

So by your definition, the only true courage is found where two men face each other in an arena with swords of equal sharpness and length. If they are to fire guns at one another, they are removing themselves from teh proximity of the battle, which obviates their courage. BS. You can play the devil's advocate game all you like; we both know in our hearts where the line is drawn between cowardice and courage. If you don't then you've been playing too many games of semantics to see the truth.
