I find it interesting that he uses the sanctions against Iraq to build his case about the immorality of service members who fought in Iraq, as the sanctions predated the war and ended when the war did -- the war was the cause of the end of the sanctions he decries.

(I served two tours in Iraq, so I am not dispassionate about the rest of his argument.)

For what it's worth, the author discusses honour or dishonour, and seems mostly to shy away from morality and immorality (mentioning the words only in a context in which he intends to dismiss their fitness for argumentation).
