30. No, the writer did NOT say there was "Right Circumstances raping women and children"

All he wrote as under the circumstances in Libya when the accusations were made, it made no sense. That is all, no more no less. Remember the accusation was Qaddafi was handing out Viagra so his men could rape even more women. That clearly made no sense from a military point of view for all it would do would turn the Civilian population against him, and he needed all the support he could muster.

I tend to paraphrase General Patton on this subject "Such acts will occur in war, it is the duty to report such incidents AND punished the people who did so". Rape occurs, even in Civilian life, in Combat the issue quickly become how to control it from occurring (and the way, is the same as in Civilian Society, punish the rapists and do NOT tolerate rape).

The writer just wanted to report that being an army under attack, the troops could NOT afford to commit rape, nor did they have the time to do so. That is all, you were the one who took it to mean rape is permissible in some war activity, not the writer.
