Does Jim find the remark so unbelievable? Rape does indeed strengthen a certain type of male morale. Did it not set Rome on the path to imperial glory?
Does Jim imagine that the repeatedly reported rape of women in both Bosnia and Kosovo occurred as a result of mere spontaneous orgasms among excited men, and did not have a political, ideological, and organisational context?
A surprisingly naive analysis.
And just there is a groundswell of rebellion on the left against welfare cuts in Britain, so there is evidence of a sense of revulsion among members of the conscript and volunteer army that did once uphold the ideals of Tito.
