You're arguing that we can't do something..that we do. Can you see why this is a futile argument? The thing you said must be done is not actually a necessity, and the thing you call impossible happens day in and day out. Wrong only denotes some property of an act or object..it doesn't tell us that we ought not do that thing on account of it. We either possess that goal or do not, or do and make exceptions. It's called an evaluative premise. We may not share the shame evaluative premises, and some are more easily justified than others..but a disgreement on these premises alters no moral fact of any matter, if those facts exist - it's just a human expression of disagreement in how to respond to whatever moral facts exist.
I get..I think we -all- get..that you see morality some specific way - but all that you're expressing in this regard... in this thread .....and the last thread, is moral myopia.
That should be instructive. Do you not hold that "I ought not be willfully ignorant" is true?

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!
