detailed explanation of one of Smart's two objections to rule-

single action you could possibly take. Rule Utilitarianism is when you
examine the consequences that would occur if everyone adopted
certain general rules. One of smarts objections to rule utilitarianism is

rules that maximize happiness, which will require building expectations
to the rules.

, Why does Nagel think that the fact that a military's supporting
personnel aren't acceptable targets of aggression serves as an
objection to utilitarian ethical theory?

acceptable targets of aggression serves as an objection to the

ethical decision making?
The principle of utility tells us to maximize happiness and minimize
pain for the greatest number. No individuals happiness counts for
anymore or any less than any others persons. This gets applied to
ethical decision making by adding up all the happiness and pain to
bring about more happiness is good and having more pain is bad.
