(1) The courage of the citizen-soldier, which is improper only insofar as it is fails to meet the standards of the war-hero in general; (2) the courage of knowledge and the pursuit of knowledge; (3) passion; (4) sanguineness or confidence; and (5) people who are ignorant of the dangers they are facing.
