Really Binnie if you think about it, a hit on anyone is cowardly. It's not like it's hand to hand combat. Everything is on the sneak.

In mob lore, prolific hitmen are lauded as so masculine, even super masculine. But their profession is a cowardly one.

A prime example is how Vince Governara wupped Nino Gaggi in a man to man fight. Gaggi couldn't get revenge any other way except to try and blow the guy up. He failed at that, and so then he and DeMeo (a bigger coward) shoot the guy.

Not brave.
