Explanation / Answer

2. Utilitarian

“No matter what . . .” indicates the need to deliver an outcome or consequence of the decision without regard to the risks or violations involved.

3. Thomas Aquinas
This connects to Aquinas’ concept of conscience affecting the decision maker.

4. Deficiency of the Virtue of Courage
With Aristotle’s virtue ethics of the mean, failure to bother the carrier air group commander, and even the reluctance to do so, is a deficiency of the virtue of courage: an aberration of the virtue.

5. Kant’s Categorical Imperative, first formulation
The key word is maxim, which is only used in the course to connect with categorical imperative in the first formulation, even though it can look like care-based ethics is at work.
