Well, on the point of how does fighting justify morality, i notice that war winners have disproportionately morality on their side afterwards. There were people even in ancient greece and rome that were against slavery, but we dont necessarily consider all other greeks / romans as immoral and clamor to remove their statues.
I think what you mean is "have popular opinion on their side". But you are not fooled by this right? You still think slavery is wrong, even if the slavers win?
"Bearing the consequences" might not imply bearing them voluntarily, or deliberately. It might be resigning oneself to doing so if and as caught (anyway).
Crackpot here. Yes, you should give me a pass. Kidnapping and jailing people for money is evil.
"Unjust laws get settled at the end of a war"
How does fighting settle questions of morality?
"It's only fair if you bear the consequences"
But that is exactly the question in dispute.

Imagine if a robber/kidnapper said, "this will only be fair if I end up with your money and you end up locked in my basement"
