The new "Super men"

Throughout centuries women have been forced to suffer the humiliation of rape whenever their countries were at war.
Or even after that war had ended..(some time ago I've watched a documentary about UN soldiers raping vietnamese women after Vietnam's war. Their excuse was that they had remained on the territory for too long after the conflict ended).
Guess what, there is no excuse for such acts!
One would think men would evolve and finally realize the atrocity of it.
No such luck.
Apparently is exhilarating for some soldiers, to chase and dominate women.
After all like I heard a Congo's governmental soldier saying on TV yesterday, they are easy prey.
Cowards!
What was it that he said?
Oh, that he was following orders from his commanding officer!
 I would grant him that and give a small discount, if he hadn't said this moustrosity immidiately after: "When I raped, I felt free."
I wonder if he would feel the same if he had been the one being raped...
This makes them both (commander and private) guilty of the same crime and both should be punished for it.
As long as such crimes are overlooked,some higher ranked soldiers will always feel free to abuse those who cannot defend themselves, just as some of those under their command will always feel this axhilaration obeying such orders for these men are weak therefore hunger to have the sense of power such violent act gives them.

PS I'm sure must of you will condemn these kind of acts coming from soldiers, but I have just read on the newspaper about an Afgan who raped two women in Austrália and his defence lawyer alleged that he wasn't familiar with the notion of "sexual consent"...
Australia's people is now debating if people who have no notion of the concept should even be allowed to enter their country.
Now imagine what's like to be a woman in such countries...
