I don't think it's odd at all--I've seen more than one story where it seriously caused me a stab of pain to see someone like France or England freely admit, "If you were Canada, I wouldn't dare think of doing this, but because it's you, it's fine if you're harmed." Really, it is a dick move, and I'm glad you're making a point of it, because I was getting caught up in the "Well, I want to see America get revenge, but rape is hard to comment over..." aspect.
