Here again, unless pure self interest is categorically amoral.......
Its one of those fun things where subject a does a thing we call moralizing when subject B does it, but it can't be moralizing (we tell ourselves) because subject a is doing it...and, perhaps, doing it wrong.
I say go ahead and give it to the tiny humans, the big humans are really just more of the same. But, to really drill this down, if the thing that the tiny humans are doing is fundamentally different from the thing the big humans re doing,...how, and when do we gain that ability?

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!
