There is a huge difference between public relations and fire fights, both are nasty but only one will kill you. There has never been a poor bastard on this planet that has won a war by dieing for the moral high ground.

Not talking about public relations - talking about esprit de corps.
Firing the first shot is an act of cowardice - powerful allies do not rally to support the acts of cowards.
Save the dirty work until after the real fighting has begun.
Then finish it.
A belief in the justice of the cause is important - especially so you can live with yourself afterwards with the things you have done.

I don't think he was a combatant in a war.
