I'm afraid you've lost me there. Non cognitive utterances are those with no truth-aptness, and thus no way to be in error. Subjective and relative utterances are emphatically not realist utterances. Your listed justifications were not realist claims, but they simply are the justifications for noncognitive, subjective, and relative metaethical claims whether you view them as moral claims or not. This is what I mean about a semantic argument. You're not disagreeing or mounting an argument against the content, just a word.
Maybe we can find common ground again. How should your revulsion be in error? How would your desires or the practical needs of your society be in error? None of these things claim or depend on mind-independence..so..perhaps some other error?

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!
