valid moral objections

That's the thing, whether or not they're valid depends on the person you're asking.

I personally think this is a load of bullshit and just another instance of slacktivists trying to guilt people into doing their bidding.

Hopefully the leader in question doesn't change a single thing due to this pressure. He would be a helpless child if he didn't have the strength to resist this kind of peer pressure from online drama.

    How is taking direct action to stigmatize someone who is enabling our fascist military “slacktivism”? What do you propose would be a more fitting and effective tactic for someone who doesn’t want their work associated in any way to the US military?
