What is courage? It comes in many forms, what is your example?

CSM Michael J. Uhlig I can't give you any examples of courage under fire in the combat zone, because I was either running to bomb shelter (concrete bunker), or getting painted in an aircraft and that just caused some pucker factor at the time. My example is the courage to standup for yourself, for my Command, for your soldiers, and your own beliefs. This took place during mobilization training at Fort McCoy, WI. I was under constant scrutiny by a GO (I will not mention his name) and day after day he would be in my six wanting to change my training plan and how I was preparing my headquarters for deployment (Logistics) for OIF. Finally, I had enough (that is why I retired as a Colonel by the way), and I went into his office and told him where to go and how far go in no uncertain terms. I can tell you the GO was so shocked and awed by my ass chewing that he just sat there in a total stunned gaze. Sometimes you have to say and do something that will cost you in the long run, but it will pull the head out of someone's rear and you can continue on down the road on your mission. The moral of this story is the GO didn't deploy downrange, but was assigned a nice desk job in Germany. He eventually was relieved for abuse of his powers as a GO by using military equipment and other things for personal gain (his rank went to his head) and he was demoted and retired as a Colonel! I would do it again one more time in my career when the time called for it. Courage comes in many different forms like you said! I’m sure there are many more examples of courage far more profound then mine by other RP Members.

Courage is to do what is morally right even though it hurts! Courage is to act even though you know that you face physical danger. Courage is to stand up to power when they're wrong even though you face retribution.

Courage is both physical and moral. Always do the right thing!

Doing something you're scared to do. Facing your fears to help yourself or others.
