It's a good question...I want to say that we all reassess our private opinions from time to time and the combined weight of that thought yields alot of revision (moral and historic). I guess one of the more difficult aspects of a hard adherence to moores non naturalism is that at the end of the day, we might have to acknowledge that people can be morally defective. That lincoln...and other people like him in any other similar context, saw things for what they were. The others..not so much. This, too..even though it's a product of non natural realism, is a problem for non natural realism. An example of the power of culture to shape our norms - which then inform our moral decisions.
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!
