And I'm right.

As you so oftimes declare yourself to be.

I am right. You care more about a collection of scrap metal.

Nope. I cared about the plane, when it was still intact. The scrap
metal is just now so much junk.

It was a collection of scrap metal before it crashed.


I doubt you'd have had any
objections to firing into a crowd if ordered.

What's the crowd doing? What is the threat assessment?

Nothing that you know, but your superiors say it's OK.

Hardly the case. If I'm firing at a crowd that, for example, coming
to lynch you and your family, I'm at the shooting end of the firearms
involved. I'd just plain Have to know what the crowd is up to, yes?

You, otoh, would make the Fine Moral Distinction, preformed, that
since shooting into a crowd is Always morally objectionable, letting
the crowd lynch you and your family would be Just Fine with you.

See how that works?

Circumstances differ, and the ways in which they differ alter the
decisions to be taken. Firing into a crowd is Not always morally
objectionable. Nor, under some circumstances, would even such a
Morally Upstanding person as your own glorious self find it so.

DID YOU OR DIDN'T YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG?
