I think Moroni is awesome. There are a couple more things here that speak to his character, and what kind of man he was.
First off, he was the kind of guy who was happy for other peoples' success. This is especially cool because he had not been quite as successful in his neck of the woods.
"...after Moroni had received and had read Helaman’s epistle, he was exceedingly rejoiced because of the welfare, yea, the exceeding success which Helaman had had, in obtaining those lands which were lost.
2 Yea, and he did make it known unto all his people, in all the land round about in that part where he was, that they might rejoice also." (Alma 59:1-2)
Moroni was angry with Pahoran, the chief judge, because he hadn't got some supplies and help out where they needed it, so he sent a message to the chief judge requesting extra help for Helaman. What he didn't know was that there were other armies who had also received very little help from Pahoran, and they started again to lose a little ground to the Lamanites.
"And it came to pass that Moroni was angry with the government, because of their indifference concerning the freedom of their country." (Alma 59:13)
Moroni cared about other people, and their success, as well as being a patriot and a great leader. All of these things just add to what we already have heard about Moroni. I would love to be more like Captain Moroni.
