Mathematics is quantifiable, the closest correlary to "relative" mathematics would be the different ways in which an identical solution is reached (and or the different names of measure). Logic is demonstrable. Morality is relative if only because it is tied to goals and preconception - neither of which are uniform between groups of people. If you agree to a and b then x is moral/immoral. If there is no agreement, no decision as to z's morality can be made that extends beyond the conception of those who agreed in a and b.

Sure, but is it morally wrong to behave in a chaotic manner?
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!
