Lyric discussion by JabbaHutt444 

Cover art for Nuguns lyrics by System of a Down

Very true, though I think it's also an allegorical reference to wider political corruption etc, implying the government "prostitutes" the American military and funds etc to the highest bidder, and equally "rapes" those it's able to exploit. I know it sounds far fetched, but almost every single song Serj Tankian has written refers to war, politics or some political-based problem in the world (apart from songs of loss, such as Streamline).
