Illustrates that courage and honor are complex things sometimes, but courage and honor nonetheless.

Absolutely correct.
I recall a story about a nazi diplomat who was living in China and was appalled at the treatment of the Chinese at the hands of the Japanese. He ended up protecting a couple of hundred of the Chinese by keeping them inside of the compound where he lived.
It seems that he returned to Germany and began to speak out in opposition to the treatment of the Jews. He was eventually imprisoned.
Yes courage can be very complex.
