And? You may not choose to use the phrase, it's still a phrase in common use, it is intelligible and coherent. Just trying to help you understand the english language homey.
Yoo could, very accurately and very eloquently, call something you thought to be immoral a "moral act". Then you could go on to explain why this moral act -is- a moral act, and why is should be negatively valued......
The reason that such a term is useful btw, is that it provides neutral ground in a debate over morality. If things are either moral or immoral calling them such assumes the conclusion. Not all acts would appear to have any moral value - and any given person may not wish to argue for every single potential act before continuing a debate about morality-. We agree "this is a moral act", whether it is a negatively valued moral act (immoral) or a positively valued moral act (moral) is still up for grabs. In order to facilitate productive discussion on the subject this is the common assumption that both sides must agree to, that said act is a moral act - a value can be assigned. Get it now?

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!
