Not only that, rape is about power and control, not sex. They weren't necessarily trying to get their jollies off, but they were angry at the Vietnamese because they were fighting the war and Sgt. Meserve just lost a friend due to it all. So they took their rage and control out on an innocent girl.

I know this is an old post, but I think the main reason was that it was difficult to get hookers in the rural areas, they could get hooker in the urban areas, but they were fighting and patrolling in the jungle.

Plus, no hooker in their right mind would want to follow soldiers into the jungle.
