Saving Afghanistan One Village At a Time (with 25 Tons of Bombs)
#3
I actually think this is not all that dissimilar to Nazi responses to Partisans and French Resistance during WWII, where individuals were identified as coming from a given village and that village, and its inhabitants were destroyed.

Oradour-sur-Glane comes to mind.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
Carl Jung - Aion (1951). CW 9, Part II: P.14
