They have it in Slough and Swindon, too

The evolving definition of courage on Powerline:

Yesterday: Sometimes it becomes necessary to state the obvious: being a soldier is a dangerous thing. This is why we honor our service members' courage. For a soldier, sailor or Marine, "courage" isn't an easily-abused abstraction--"it took a lot of courage to vote against the farm bill"--it's a requirement of the job.

Indeed. Courage is often easily abused. Like on Powerline 3 weeks ago:

The Scouts love America, they inculcate boys in the manly virtues, they have successfully defended their right to exclude proclaimed homosexuals as Scoutmasters ..., and they take that oath! Given the left's success in stigmatizing the Scouts, standing up for the Scouts has become an act of courage. President Bush not only appeared before them in solemn assembly at their Jamboree yesterday, he struck all the right notes in his address

Can we give soldiers the choice of going to Iraq or helping out at the Boy Scout club?
