Rumple only joined the army to get rid of the stigma of being a coward by his father's actions. Most likely the Seer only had that dependence that Rumple would be a coward as well, especially knowing he will be a father soon since he stated her didn't want Bae to grow up without a father. She was cryptic with her message and maybe knew if she didn't divulge too many details, he'll chose a path that will be in her favor, just like how many characters took paths in Rumple's favor when he was the Dark One in order for the Dark Curse to be cast and his reunion with his son. Just remember how Rumple worked with his deals during the time in the Enchanted Forest and not think the Seer was just as calculating in the same way
