Rape has always been a part of war. When you have thousands of testosterone driven, young warriors facing death every day they need that sexual outlet. The camp follower or comfort woman has been around since the beginning of warfare itself. And if there were none, the conquered were the victims. The problem over there I think, is the lack of prostitutes in the Muslim culture. These guys have nowhere to go to release that tension and they prey on their own. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the so-called leaders set it up this way.

I'd like to see where these deaths at Camp Victory are debunked. |

I wonder if there is any connection with the fact that recruiting standards have been lowered? |
