was a coward? He commits suicide at the end, how can this be interpreted as nothing other than a cowardly act?

who are you to judge. He was not a coward, he just felt trapped like suicide was the only way out.

what would you have done?

Some view his choice - and suicide in general - as a last ditch effort to seize control in his life. When viewed through that lens, it could be viewed as a brave choice, not a cowardly one...

It was either kill himself then or be killed at war

"If not now, when?"

Another theory is he killed himself because if he had gone to war he would have got his friends killed through his stupidity ie the prostitute scenes, so better to kill only himself in that respect, makes sense to me.
