No sir, you mistake intelligence with cowardice. The right decision in both of those situations was to LEAVE THEM. Burt was a dying old man, the chances were one in a million that he turns out to be this gun toting clint eastwood badass. More than likely he would have died on them and it would have been a waste of precious supplies. It was a miracle things turned out the way it did
As with lizzy, the right decision should have been to leave her. By shooting the lock and opening the door for her, Michael risked the lives of every person in that tower.
From a leadership standpoint, Angel made the right decision both times, but he was overridden by “hail mary” logic, basically let’s make an insane decision and follow through and hope for the best, if it succeeds, we’re heroes, if it fails we’re all dead. Since this is fiction, they pull off some insane things, and avoid serious repercussions for very stupid decisions, but the decisions Angel made were not so much cowardice as they were the best possible choices. And considering it from that perspective, Michael and Burt both have yet to realize this, and this could lead to their downfall. The hail mary only has to fail once to ruin everything .

chapter 2, ok in time angel will be a great leader, but currently he's not he didn't step in to help lizzy, so what if he is injured, micheal stood up to help saul and he had a badly broken arm. .
Yes, if Angel was in charge Burt, and Lizzy would be dead. Do you know why they are alive? Because Michael used a hail mary, and things worked out, when the hail mary works, everyone is happy, and you’re a hero, but do you know what happens if a hail mary fails? You lose EVERYTHING, had lizzy been saved, but Michael not reached the door in time, EVRYONE in the tower would have died. Since this is a story it worked out, had burt turned out to be any normal old man, which all things considering what are the odds burt is the marksman that he is, and that he has a stockpile of illegal weapons. Its very low, burt would have been a bad addition to the team, he would be an old guy who’s physically feeble and cant do much to help out the team, but the hail mary worked, and he turned out to be a gun toting badass.
As for the Mallers, we do not have enough information to state, that the Mallers would have won without the weapons and ammo from burt’s armory. There are an infinite number of possibilities that could have happened had they not gotten all the ammo from burt, they would have made that a priority and they would have found it somewhere else. This is not a valid argument because it is not supported by any evidence.

Pegs, most likely no and ended up being tazed him self, if he's in my squad watching my back angle is one to count on but not to lead he's still not experienced enough and wont stand up to people he always tries to work things out. .
Once again not a valid argument because there is no evidence backing any of this up, this is just what you hypothesize might happen in this situation, I could hypothesize differently but it doesn’t matter because there is no evidence so once again irrelevant.

me personaly no, he is still not ready, if you asked me this in the first few chapters i would never follow Angel but in a bitmore time Angle could lead.
This is not the conclusion you gave me before. Two posts ago you were telling me that angel was a failure for being “not believable” and “not brave enough” to be a leader.
But that being said this is a much better conclusion to arrive at, angel is a character with unlimited growth potential, and he’s been growing at a very fast pace so far, chances are he’ll continue to grow at a fast pace. Do I want angel as the leader right now? No not right now, because right now, the situation is dire, and Michael has more experience leading the tower in such situations, Angel needs to be eased into leadership, right now, the tower is on the brink of war, don’t change horses when crossing a stream.
