I've never understood the fascination with objective value. It's notoriously difficult to pin down even as a concept - as this thread makes apparent-...but it's also completely unnecessary. Nothing depends upon it. The example, in this case, of human life. I value human life, Kingpin..you value human life, MH, you value human life. We all claim that human life has value.
What is added to this by claiming, additionally, that the value of human life is objective?

In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
