It actually takes more moral courage to do what this young man is doing. He is standing up for a belief that he has. That I think he is incorrect in his decision does not for a second mean I think the man is a coward.

It takes a lot of courage to refuse an order and then accept the legal consequences of that decision. I don't see the young man attempting to remove himself from that consequence. Remember he was alreadly offered choices that would not land him in jail if the court determines that he is wrong.

A misguided effort maybe - an act of a coward most definitily not.
