But if the day ever arrives where that privilege is available to all, then what should we do?If that day ever arrives no one will be talking about morality. It will become an obsolete concept insomuch as it refers to the background noise of life and no specific choice we make. Personally, I don't think that day can or will ever come. The very last reason to harm is the most difficult to moderate. When we don't do it out of ignorance or fear or profit...we'll do it for fun.

"Don't be a dick" works for 99% of morality, for the other 1%..the judicious application of bricks will suffice.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. 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 yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. 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!
