A leader who leads by example? From my perspective as a conscientious objector/pacifist: bellicose; foolhardy; a man with a death wish; a hopeless Romantic (in the sense of one who thinks it a great and glorious honor to die in battle for one's country, king, or queen); a fool; and yes, perhaps, brave, fearless, stout-hearted, and dauntless.
