"A single virtue of character will usually be conducive to a diverse range of incommensurable goods and practices, and its visible aspect will vary accordingly. While a soldier, a physician, and a politician all need courage to pursue their respective goods in ways that appropriately channel and modulate fear and hope, courageous action looks very different in these various practical contexts. The meaning of a virtue is historically and culturally contingent as well—the courageous soldier in the age of Homer would have expressed his resolve differently than did the courageous Japanese pilot in World War II, and as we move into an era of automated remote warfare, courage in military practice may acquire a radically new visage." [Vallor, Shannon. Technology and the Virtues.]
