Perhaps there is courage in Jim's willingness to see things pragmatically, or in Wilson's acceptance of his limitations, or even in Henry's deep self-questioning. Though the story may provide no clear answers, it offers several perspectives: Jim Conklin, Wilson, and the lieutenant each offer different versions of courage to compare with Henry's. But is courage self-destructive? Is it a performance for others, or for yourself? Does it happen when we're not thinking about it? Henry seeks answers from himself and from the soldiers around him, including corpses and the wounded. Taking it to the extreme, Henry daydreams about a glorious death. Courageous people know the difference between right and wrong. They don’t blindly follow the crowd, waffle in the face of adversity, or change their opinion unless the change is supported by a strong, factual case.

Wanting to find a lasting form of courage, Henry hopes for a wound or 'red badge of courage' to wear. They’re passionate about their beliefs and values and have consistent and predictable behavior.
