dude you don't even know what courage is. You say that it is something new and out of the ordinary, but it's not. Courage is when you confront your fear.
....are you fucking serious?

If your illiterate ass could read then you would realize that I stated that. Don't waste my time with your fucking insignificant ignorant posts.
Let's try again.

You dumbass thats a way of LIFE for them- they are USED to it.
Courage is doing something new AND doing something that takes a risk outof the ordinary, as well as other aspects.
You think he had ever fought a Lion before? It takes him a lot more courage than it would take someone thats fought lions there whole life.
Think of a kid being trained to kill a Lion. To him, he has fear, and it will take him courage, but he knows it can be done and he expects it to be ordinary (EXPECTED FEAR), and is being trained to do it. The man doesn't expect it to be everyday, thus was confronted by a fear that is completely different (UNEXPECTED fear ("oh shit lion?!")) than the kids. AND, on top of that, he is UNTRAINED.
Now, im not saying necissarily unexpected fears vs. expected fears are worse, just in this particular case, it indeed IS, and at the same time, im not saying it doesn't take courage to do something you've already done numerous time (because it DOES), but just LESS.
Please, again, I don't want to know about your 6th grade reading skills. Just fucking READ, and then when you READ it, you have to COMPREHEND what you read, not just read words. Reading is COMPREHENSION too.
Who do you think is going to be afraid run into an enemy territory? A vetern or a new recruit? I'm not necissarily saying that the vetern won't be afraid to, and in fact, MIGHT be more afraid to (past bad experience in missions?), but i'm saying more than likely the recruit is.
THEY CORRELATE with eachother. There is never an instance where a statement is completely true.
EXAMPLE: Rich children happen to be better readers than poor children.
Though this happens to be the case moreso than often, there are ALWAYS exceptions. HOWEVER, there is an extremely high correlation to it- as there is to experienced fear vs new fear contrasted to courage.
Think before you post please, just take 20 minutes and think.
