Well, its only a crime when a law is broken. Had the rape occurred in the U.S., then yes, a law was broken, and since Iraqi laws don't apply, then there is no crime. As a result, yes it was extremely stupid to venture into a territory where one is free game.

  I could swear that U.S. military bases are considered to fall under U.S. legal jurisdiction.

    No need to swear simply provide a website. I know that the military has juridiction over the military bases involving military personnel even in the U.S., but you are claiming that there is Federal Court Crinminal Jurisdiction in a foreign country. Wow.
