"Brave & Coward" misused words OP/ED

I got shot at a lot in the Navy, mostly early '70s, and I never stopped being scared. Despite that I did my job and that's what helped me survive. (That and a lot of luck.)

If anybody says they were in combat and weren't afraid they're lying, insane, or stupid.

I am glad we have people who can do that. But would you think it wrong to admit you don't have that? I don't have that. You wouldn't want me next to you on the battlefield, I would get you killed.
