Yeah, except Colonel Volgin's destruction of the Sokolov Design Bureau was treated in-story as being an especially heinous action, one that nearly led to nuclear war. Yet when The Boss does something very similar late into the game (blowing up Groznyj Grad and if Ocelot is to be believed Graniny Gorki with the same remaining Davy Crockett) and with some hints of enjoyment at it based on her "Life's end, isn't it beautiful?", it's not even treated as a MEH, much less treats her as a complete monster. On the contrary, they still depicted her as a misunderstood, tragic hero who faked defection and ended up rubbed out. Following orders? That would easily make her the perfect Nazi as well.
