I agree to some extent but certainly NO coward
Disagree.
Compare/contrast Sonny Black with Gotti.
Both captains who's crew fucked up demanding consequence.
One accepted responsibility and went in when called.
Knowing the probable outcome and shouldering the repercussions.
The other acted out of fear and self preservation.
Broke his oath to his boss.
Motivation was purely self centered.
One is courage the other is a coward.
Im sure you can figure out which is which.
