Does risk taker make Jonathan a war hero?

I've realized that Jonathan isn't a risk taker. I believe so because when Jonathan got really afraid that they found him they were probably going to kill him. He jumped up. "Don't shoot me," he cried, as seen on page 59. If he was a risk taker he would have stayed hiding. Also when the Hessians were trying to talk to him in german he might have thought that they were plotting to kill them so he listened to them. "Komm hierer, Junge... he took a step," if he had been a risk taker he wouldn't have listened to them. This is truly why I believe that Jonathan isn't a risk taker.
