It may not be, things may not work the way we think they do, but it's how we say it works - we do construct our truth claims....moral or otherwise, in these ways.
We can use any words we like, or we can agree or disagree with any moral theory (or truth theory) we like - but for myself, if I object to subjectivity in a moral statement I don't want to miscommunicate that as objecting to the content of their opinion on the grounds of it being their opinion, ala whatever someone says is an opinion. I'm saying, very exactly, that there's some fact about the reporting subject explicitly and exclusively that accounts for this moral justification, however it expresses itself. Not some fact of the matter in question..in the case that it expresses itself as an objectivist assertion, as they so very often do.

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!
