it's impossible to dissect someone's reason why they wouldn't go to war because sincere pacifists and cowards both use the same excuses. no cowards admit they are one to others (and probably rarely to themselves), so they invariably think of some face-saving reason they'd never fight.
i don't know anyone on here well enough to make a judgement between a moral objectionist and a coward... so i won't.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
