Endangered Japan (Book 2): Sex, Lies, and Comfort Women

If you are a citizen of US and happened to see any Korean political advertisement about "comfort women", then turned out to consider as old Japanese people as such cruel people, watch this video before blaming Japan. At least you have to understand what was really happening first. Since letters in the video are small, I recommend you to visit YouTube and watch it in large size.



The following text is cite from this video around 16:23.

It was not only Japan which introduced the same system. The South Korean Army and US Forces introduced the same system during the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Sex-trafficked women can be seen in prostitution establishment for the U.S. troops in South korea still now. Accusing others of some problems when they have the same problem is called "hypocrisy" normally.

Yes, I agree with this statement. If you are a Korean citizen or US citizen and you think "comfort women" system is inhumane, please blame the government in your country first.

By the way, army of China, German and ex-Soviet had the same system as "comfort women" too. In my personal opinion, they were the same system but some of them seemed much worse than Japanese one in humanistic point of view. None of these countries compensate comfort women later. (While you may be surprised, but Japan did.)
