Speaking of which...
Back in the 1990's I remember reading a briefing about a private thought-tank meeting held, as I remember, at Fort Bragg. It was stated in there that the plan was, for the future - fifty years down the line -- to have a largely privatised US military. For all sorts of reasons, but restraint (or actually the lack of it) being a primary reason.
I remember thinking at the time that this would never come to pass as it sounded so bizarre.
More fool me.
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.
