It takes a lot of people to make a missile, yet it only takes one to declare war. Who’s more at fault? If I steal a thousand elderly people’s retirement savings, and someone else steals my car, are we equally thieves? What if the son of a person who I stole from took it, does that change anything?
No, that would be bad. But if that retirement stealer continues to steal, and the law doesn’t do anything, and the whole system is made so he will never get any consequences, there could be a moment when shooting him in the back is the only moral decision

I like how in your quest for moral absolutism you came full circle and found the basis for absolute immortality.
