I suppose a question that needs to be asked is if or how the perpetrators knew the victim was military? Wearing a Help for Heroes t shirt doesn't mean he was military but, rather, a supporter of the military. My assumption here is that this killing wasn't random - that there was a definite purpose to it?
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.
