War tactic my arse. Heres a section from the article: The former commander of the UN peacekeeping force in eastern Congo, Major-General Patrick Cammaert, told the BBC he personally witnessed its impact. "It's a very effective weapon, because the communities are totally destroyed," he said. "You destroy communities. You punish the men, and you punish the women, doing it in front of the men." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7464462.stm

How dare they! Fair enough grown men shooting at each other, but when they are raping helpless women, and in some cases children, it's wrong. It's not like they were assembling a UN playbook. They were categorizing it as a tactic that some employ.
