When someone finally figures this whole topic out, I would love to hear about it. I am well versed with how rape is used as a weapon in warfare. I just don't get it. What is supposed to be gained? Oh, the intention to break the morale of the people and their will to resist is clear enough...but really? They keep trying this in brush fire and tribal wars all over the world for centuries and somehow expect the next time will be different and accomplish something?? It seems to me, if I were among the victimized population, nothing imaginable could be done to enrage me more deeply or light the fire of vengeance in a deeper and more lasting way.

I just can't imagine (and that is a good thing) the level of hate and ugly rage it would engender in the males and, for that matter, the females who aren't outright broken by it, to go after those who DID it. The war ending would only make the revenge easier to get, it would never end the need to seek it out.

So again..If anyone can explain in a real world logical way what this is supposed to actually accomplish, I'd love to hear it. It sounds like it's more often a breakdown in discipline and willful decision by command to let 'boys be boys' and to hell with the EVIL that attitude unleashes upon other human beings.
