Not at all. I know of many great feats of bravery that both men and women have performed, but to face losing everything that is dear to you (friends, family, belonging to a community) is no menial task and it takes a great determination to do so.
As I said, one of the bravest but in no way meant to demean the bravery that countless others have shown.
