A person's flawed perception of a situation doesn't matter.
Sure it does. We're calling the player's actions cowardly because we can armchair quarterback after the fact a number of alternative solutions. We weren't there. We have no idea if those other options would even be considered. All we know is that the player was faced with an unwinnable situation and choose the least bad option and now there are all sorts of calls for punishing him for that.
No thanks. The actions he performed were in keeping with his Oath, if distasteful, and were not evil. If the player isn't feeling guilty about it, move on.
