Doesn't make it any better but rape was always a part of pretty much any war in human history

I think it's just that we hear a lot more about individual cases in the social media age, but correct me if i'm wrong...

    It might just be the last 150 years that humans have tried to sanitize war but the behavior of Russia is notably awful even by medieval standards.

    Historically war basically consisted of everyone getting together in a big field and having a large fight. People who lived all of half a mile away could just get on with their lives as long as they didn't go near the war field.
