"...Hollywood looks at courage and sees only bravado. Bravado is to real courage as a slick personality is to genuine character." "Courage is not the absence of fear. It is taking action in the face of fear."
Many thanks L2, for the ping. I would have passed by this wonderful essay if you had not alerted me to it. And thanks to you FC, for posting it.
It certainly is worth posting a link to this thread at the FReeper Foxhole. Military men and women have the 'real' courage that this author describes.
I'm pinging a few of my Foxhole FRiends, but please feel free to post a link at the Foxhole so others will read this essay if they haven't already.
