Personal courage is wonderful, but it's far from the most important criterion in picking political leaders. Courage in the pursuit of bad policy can look an awful lot like stubbornness. Audie Murphy and Alvin York were great heroes, but they wouldn't necessarily have made great presidents.

Douglas MacArthur was a great yet foolhardy general who would've been a disastrous president.
