Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mal Malenkirk" data-source="post: 427235" data-attributes="member: 834">Well your definition of cowardice is just different than mine.  We can't argue over the actions of König if we don't have the same definition.I'll remind you that the dictionary definition of Cowardice is a lack of courage and resolution.  I'd  out that by your logic one could argue that the US army is filled with cowards since in the past 20 years they've only fought battles against enemy who can't put up a serious fight.Before you flame me; of course the US army ain't cowardly.  The fact that their target in the past two decades have been weak doesn't say anything about the ability and willingness of these soldiers to fight battles against terrible odds if it came down to that.Similarly (but not identically; let's not extend the analogy between the US army and a Nazi sniper <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> ) , König willingness to kill a child doesn't in the least diminish his willingness to fight an elite soldier.  Frankly, I'm a little dumbfounded that you argue that König was affraid of Zaitsev.  If anything, he was the more savvy and skillful warrior and Vassili admit's as much during the movie.  In the end, Vassilli wins through the sacrifice of his friend, not because he's smarter and more skilled than König.</blockquote>
