I wouldn't purport that American soldiers who rape Iraqis do so in order to get a leg-up on the enemy. In Sudan, the case is strikingly different. Rape embodies the concept of a war tactic. Rape is a humiliating, dehumanizing experience. Watching enemy soldiers rape one's wife creates a very distinct tactical advantage by changing the emotional state of those people. Multiply this by the thousands and thousands of rapes that are occurring, and you have rape being used as a tactic of war.
It's just not a tactic that American soldiers use.
