The fact that the alleged signatories of this letter contacted the media before bringing their complaints to their commanding officers or relevant agencies in the army is surprising and raises doubts regarding the sincerity of their claims.
How does the Haaretz reporter get to that conclusion so easily? Normally, views are made up the chain of command in the military, as I understand it anyway, but when and if those views are ignored or trodden under foot, only then would the matter be made public. My point being here that the reporter needs to qualify how he reached his conclusion - showing that they have not tried to make their points in private previously - and not simply go straight to undermining the integrity of the letter and its signatories, because it looks to me that these are 43 very pissed off soldiers.
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.
