There's no moral consensus to be had?This is starting to hurt, moral consensus and law are not the same. Legal systems (ours, yours) are largely subjective -by design. This makes them robust, capable of handling all the permutations of strange shit that might come up before a judge and jury. We can't simply flip back and forth between our legals systems and morality as though they are the same things. It's bound to lead to shitty conclusions.

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!
