No more a cowardly act that the lies told about the re-supply of Sumpter or the actions of Beast Butler or Sherman who made war on women and children. No more cowardly than the killing of American Indians at Sand Creek or the shooting of unarmed Confederates at Fort Blakely. No more Cowardly than the deliberate torture of Confederate POWs at Chase, and Elmira.
Take of those blue glasses for awhile and dstudy some actual history.
