KING HENRY V
How yet resolves the governor of the town?
This is the latest parle we will admit;
Therefore to our best mercy give yourselves;
Or like to men proud of destruction
Defy us to our worst: for, as I am a soldier,
A name that in my thoughts becomes me best,
If I begin the battery once again,
I will not leave the half-achieved Harfleur
Till in her ashes she lie buried.
The gates of mercy shall be all shut up,
And the flesh'd soldier, rough and hard of heart,
In liberty of bloody hand shall range
With conscience wide as hell, mowing like grass
Your fresh-fair virgins and your flowering infants.
What is it then to me, if impious war,
Array'd in flames like to the prince of fiends,
Do, with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats
Enlink'd to waste and desolation?
What is't to me, when you yourselves are cause,
If your pure maidens fall into the hand
Of hot and forcing violation?
What rein can hold licentious wickedness
When down the hill he holds his fierce career?
We may as bootless spend our vain command
Upon the enraged soldiers in their spoil
As send precepts to the leviathan
To come ashore. Therefore, you men of Harfleur,
Take pity of your town and of your people,
Whiles yet my soldiers are in my command;
Whiles yet the cool and temperate wind of grace
O'erblows the filthy and contagious clouds
Of heady murder, spoil and villany.
If not, why, in a moment look to see
The blind and bloody soldier with foul hand
Defile the locks of your shrill-shrieking daughters;
Your fathers taken by the silver beards,
And their most reverend heads dash'd to the walls,
Your naked infants spitted upon pikes,
Whiles the mad mothers with their howls confused
Do break the clouds, as did the wives of Jewry
At Herod's bloody-hunting slaughtermen.
What say you? will you yield, and this avoid,
Or, guilty in defence, be thus destroy'd?

It's more useful in civil war and other low intensity conflicts. It is a rather serious crime for American servicemen, which is why we don't hear too much about it on our part. During the Russian Civil War, the accusation of rape was enough to get you executed in the Red Army, but during WWII, rape was a weapon of terror and revenge used by the Red Army in German territories.
There was a lot of rape in Vietnam, but our military has become far more professional since. Our proxies, however, are under no such constrictions. Our Contra Army in Nicaragua, for example, engaged in rape as a weapon of terror.

Much like rape in civilian life, I can probably guarantee that it's happened. It just goes unreported. Do not forget, Iraqi society is very much a shame culture. For an Iraqi woman to come forward to accuse an American soldier means certain disownership by her family, with only a slight benefit of justice being granted. And the latter is hardly guaranteed.
