That's not how moral courage works. If moral courage could be "sucked out" it would mean that prior to having it sucked through a cannula, all prior actions would have been anchored by moral courage.
On the contrary - none of us are inherently "loaded" with moral courage. That would make life like a fucking Star Wars movie and that bullshit with the midiclorians...
...oh look, that guy has a fuck ton of moral courage; he must be a great leader.
...oh snap, that guy has even MORE moral courage but he is a monster
We walk around without any circulating moral courage. We are void of moral courage because we are living beings - male and female - our natural state is hedonistic with an animalistic desire to eat and sleep and screw. It is our cultivated decency and humanity that makes us SEEK moral courage.
When a situation arises that requires it, we have to seek out and INGEST moral courage. When that happens - something magical occurs - modern leftists would probably try to call it "science" but modern leftists don't really know fuckall about science and they know even LESS about moral courage.
They know it's a thing - but they don't know where to find it.
They PRETEND to carry it around with them - but they are lacking.
... it's also why it's so easy to identify the self-righteous shitsacks that spend their time virtue signaling in hopes of pulling off the appearance of moral courage.
...and those folks can just fuck right off
It isn't science - it can't be science - if it was, we'd be able to mix that shit into a paste and apply it at regular intervals and mankind would be right as rain. Moral courage ISN'T science, it isn't like midiclorians, and it can't be seen. It's honest-to-goodness magic and you have to conjure it out of thin air like Bullwinkle Moose trying to pull a fucking rabbit out of his hat. Moral courage is like Popeye the Sailor (because this is a thread about Navy stuff) and his mother fucking can of spinach.
When you ingest moral courage - it causes the same response as that fucking can of spinach that Popeye the Sailor Man eats.
-When you ingest moral courage, you can move mountains.
-When you ingest moral courage, a battleship fires all of its guns out of your biceps; just like it did for Popeye.
-When you ingest moral courage you can beat up Bluto with both hands tied behind your back.
-When you ingest moral courage you become stronger than a locomotive.
-When you ingest moral courage you become faster than a speeding bullet.
-When you ingest moral courage you can leap tall buildings in a single bound.
-When you ingest moral courage you are able to speak REAL truth to power.
The problem is quite complex though - moral courage makes you stronger but it tastes like shit. Moral courage is hard to swallow; in fact, sometimes you feel like you're going to choke.
Moral courage won't kill you, but sometimes it will make you wish you were dead.
Moral courage smells SO bad that it has been known to make people avoid you.
Moral courage leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
Moral courage can make your life miserable with no payoff and no thanks.
Ambition, on the other hand, tastes sweet. It's easy to find. It's free. Modern-day leftists are handing out ambition like they are handing out those little miniature Reese cups to all the trick-or-treaters.
...hey little boy, here's a Reese's cup, do you want to be a little girl???
...hey little girl, here's a Reese's cup, do you want to be a little boy???
...transgender, transracial, transspecies, transhuman, whatever you want
...do you want some government-funded "affirming care" to make you feel better about yourself?
...if you enlist, we'll give you some money and let you pretend to be Popeye the Sailor Ma'am.
Ambition in modern aMErikuh is applauded - moral courage, not so much. It seems more and more like politicians and senior military leaders are turning to ambition like it's a case of "Rip-It" energy fuel on an OEF deployment.
The paradox that many of these assholes can't seem to grasp is that you actually get shitty, halfassed, self-centered, attention whores when you use Reese-Cups and Citrus-X flavored 'Rip Its' to try and lure Recruits into military service.
America's REAL men and women are lured by a heaping pile of unprocessed moral courage. They don't need to have their ego stroked by being told they are part of a special identity group. They don't need to have their ego stroked by being promised the same sized trophy as the winner ad they don't swoon over drag queens and transvestites and promises of equality of outcome...
America's REAL men and women are lured by a challenge and the promise of equal opportunity. It's too bad that the folks working at the Five-Sided puzzle palace can't seem to figure that out.
This is the way.
