That’s a lot of noise to avoid your own criteria. You’ve indicated that you deeply care about conforming to your moral schema. If caring makes a schema subjective, then your schema is subjective.
Here’s the thing, it doesn’t. So, you don’t actually have to launch this batshit argument to save your own schema from your own objections.....but, ofc, neither does anyone else. Caring about something doesn’t make that thing subjective.
A fact remains a fact regardless of whether anyone cares about it.

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!
