What do you do when everyone around you freezes and you're the only one expected to move?
Most people talk about courage. Jose had to show it on a day when 40 Afghan soldiers refused to step outside the wire. Two U.S. Marines. Six Brits. A mission that didn’t care how anyone felt. The chatter was clear: the enemy was waiting, ready to strike. Fear hit the whole group but leadership isn’t what you say. It’s what you step into.
Here’s the lesson:
• Presence matters more than comfort.
• Courage is a choice you make under pressure.
• When others hesitate, your standard becomes the example.
You don’t wait for the fear to pass. You move anyway.
