Feeding the troll or actually starting a srs bzns debate? Oh my.

>honesty

Always tell the truth... to know this would be intelligent, no? It is natural to lie sometimes, but it takes a Kant scholar to appreciate the true ethical significance of the categorical imperative.

>bravery

Wisdom is what differentiates courage from rash boldness, no? But I can also see where wisdom might preclude any pretense of courage. We can view a water rescue by a champion swimmer as an exercise of skill, but perhaps no so much courage since he knew perfectly well what he was doing. Still, there is Little Bighorn.

Still, by Godwin, there are the Nazis. Were their soldiers brave?
