Just what I had in mind when I typed it. You don't pull down your pants when the enemy are still on the battle field to rape women. In most wars where there is rape, the invading force usually waits for the town, city or country to be rid of the enemy before any raping starts, be it in Germany after Hitlers defeat or in Rwanda.
