Viewed in that light and given the historical treatment of women in those societies it isn't a real strech to believe that soldiers comments weren't that far out of the mainstream.
OK, l got ya now - I agree completely that it wasn't that hard to find such comments. Still, I'm sure they could have found someone happy for her as well. Obviously her own brother / father didn't kill her.
