Rape and plunder / looting have been a part of every war, and once upon a time were considered one of the "perks" of soldiering, a dangerous, low-paying occupation.
War, rape, torture, looting... as much as some of us would like to doubt it... are a part of human nature. That doesn't make it OK, but they can be expected in any war.
Edit: and by ANY army. Not just the U.S.
