I'm sure there are many that cannot help themselves that are glad these guys didn't pack and look for the first plot of land where they didn't have to worry about state-sanctioned killing. Some are more noble than the Every man for themselves mentality.

This is a thread about those that choose to serve their country and countrymen while those around them fight and the cowards (a person who lacks courage in facing danger, difficulty, opposition, pain, etc.) run.

Of course someone that abandons their country and those that cannot fend for themselves in the time of civil war are cowards. You and others can paint them as more noble, but...

I always forget that there is a segment of society that think fighting and killing each other is the only way to handle things.  And that if you refuse to be put in a situation where you will be killed you are less of a man.  Rather than raising up those who choose to do it they choose to denigrate those who choose not to as "less" of a man or "cowards".
