I understand the distinction that you're making here. The pacifism to which I refer is that of the individual who believes that there is nothing worth fighting for. Who would trust their life to a true pacifist? I maintain that true pacifism is morally and philosophically indefensible.

I agree. The pacifist does not rise to meet the need of others who depend on him for help in extremis, and therefore he privileges his own moral imposture over the dire need of others.
