Steve, Allen,

What is disturbing me in MS comportement is the show.
" The jungle is the place to test one's own mettle & one's skill." no doubt MS has mettle, the question is : does he test his own mettle or does he perform a show about his unusual recklessness?
Will he trigger a charge when alone or far from any camera? Is he a courageous man anytime for the fun and machism or only to display a thrilling torero scenario so as to show how plucky he is?

Napoleon was talking about the Midnight courage , the courage some of his field marshals and generals had when the night had come, when the battle was on the point to be lost or when the emperor didn't see them fighting.
Murat was a handsome and sumptuously clad field marshall ever leading during charges only a riding crop at hand, but a showman.
Ney was a tough field marshal, never renouncing and always couragous even alone or during the nightbattles.

Has MS the Midnight courage ?

Albeit being a frenchman, mine is the Dutch courage.
