Reply #71: Yet it is possible (and necessary) to make moral judgments notwithstanding that subjectivity [View All]

[Raskolnik]

I have absolutely no problem making the moral judgment that a Pole in the Warsaw uprising was morally justified in fighting and killing German soldiers, while a Waffen SS soldier killing an unarmed Russian peasant for sport outside Moscow was not morally justified in doing so. Those are extreme examples, but you are the one taking the extreme position that everything is subjective and one can never truly be morally justified in killing.

Of course many soldiers are mislead into thinking their cause is just when it is not--only a fool would think otherwise. It is equally foolish, however, to hide underneath endless subjectivity and argue that *nothing* can morally justify fighting and killing for one's nation.
