Nothing objectively, though it is my subjective opinion that causing unnecessary suffering, or not doing what we can reasonably be expected to, to prevent it, is immoral. It is not objectively true that causing unnecessary suffering is wrong, at least as far as I can see, though as always I shall keep an open mind.
In a non-novel objectivist understanding of these terms "not objectively true" is redundant. It's just not true, full stop. Do you not care whether or not the things you believe are 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!
