    Absolutely. True courage is doing the right thing when you're so scared your sphincters won't behave. Just ask any Medal of Honor or VC (those that didn't get theirs posthumously, of course). They're all on record as stating they were scared witless.
    A truly fearless person cannot be brave. S/he is also an idiot.

    It scares me just imagining what those people feel and go through. Anyone in the military actually.
