Because atrocities are expected from some groups of people, IMO. This makes covering American troops sexually humiliating someone (EDIT) less of a fire than savages mutilating American corpses. And the fanatics are the modern day savages. I don't mean it literally (at least not to ALL Muslims), but they have the same image as American Indians in the Old West.
Yeah, I know not PC. That's how it is though, IMO.
