It's not my place to approve or disapprove, nor am I disdainful. I'm surveying the charges with an eye to the situation and (again) mindful of the age of the victim. Survey the numbers of 20 something military females in the zone of combat and see how many of them have suffered similar fates. Then, look at the early stages of the war. Not even our female POWs were raped. Kelly Lynch wasn't. I'll bet the Iraqi males have an even more misogynistic view of women than you seem to feel that I hold. The situation is what it is. I make no apologies for my views.
That’s because soldiers, even Iraqi ones, can be held legally accountable to their respective military justice systems. These mercenaries can do whatever they want and evidently receive corporate protection.
Of course, we aren’t talking about the military, with its discipline.
Perhaps you’re unaware of how disdainful your supposition about “consensual until the tips were too small,” and the implication that most women aren’t raped, so she must be lying and at fault.
Even if your experiences do make you think so poorly of women, in this case there is an honorable man as a witness, “Toothbrush Poe.”
