Speaking on Courage

"Speaking of courage".. The chapter speaking of courage spoke of courage by telling a story about Norman Bowker and him trying to save Kiowa from sinking in the muck. It tells how all the other soldiers imagined themselves saving Kiowa but were frozen in fear to help him. How all the other soldiers felt that they were responsible for Kiowa's death. I think some other moments in the book that explain coward vs. cowardice was in the beginning of the book when Tim O'brien was explaining how all the soldiers were in fear,but were even more scared to show that they feared the war. I picked this because it explains how the soldiers were cowardice butt trying not to be cowards and fight through the war.
