Does this trait, thinkers make Jonathan a War Hero?

I realize that Jonathan has been thinking throughout the time he was with the Hessian. Every hero have to understand about what is their opponent's plan and what are they are talking about. In order to do it they have to think. Even if they talk different language try your best to understand it and this is what Jonathan is doing. Jonathan is trying his best to understand every single word the Hessian is saying. this can be seen on pg 66 " hoping to hear words that would make some scene but very few." If Jonathan could understand them, it will be a big help for the army Jonathan was in.

I was interested when Jonathan made his risk by telling them where he was, ultimately he was made fun of for being a young fool in a war. Even though that had occurred Jonathan was making his risk by trying to pay attention secretly to what the Dutch speaking soldiers were saying. For example, in pg. 66 it said " Carefully, furtively, he studied their faces, trying to guess their thought and moods. " Another thing he was doing was making sure he wasn't a threat by trying to understand and communicate with the three soldiers.
