IMHO, I don't think any man willing to fight for what he believes in is a coward; I just think that any man who would compromise moral integrity at the expense of winning a fight is a coward, brave man in his deeds or not...

I think one statement sums it up... an ancestor of mine said this, and I believe it will stand the test of time as a statement of firm adherence to one's ultimate beliefs...

"As the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."-Chief Joseph of the Hunkpapa Sioux

He fought until he realized that no amount of fighting was going to solve the conflict between the ACTUAL opposing sides--the two CULTURES. Then he walked away and is much braver in my mind for standing up to leave then to carry on in a cause that was wrong and hopeless...
