I agree that harm is not morality. I'm a value pluralist. I think that harm is one of the things we're talking about when we talk about morality. That we couldn't give a full and accurate description of morality without a reference to harm, and we couldn't give a full and accurate description of morality by referring to harm alone. Hence my agreement with sam harris comment that if whatever someone else is talking about when they use the term doesn't include harm then we are not talking about the same thing.
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!
