Sorry to sound so "anti-Japanese", but how can I be neutral about rape and slavery? These things are so obviously wrong that I can't be neutral. --Uncle Ed 19:23, 17 Oct 2003 (UTC)
This page should be on List of Japan-related topics.... --Sewing 11:21, 19 Oct 2003 (UTC)
This entry was written without consulting any of the relevant research on the issue. A lot should be added to make the entry balanced and add more details to this. I'll do a little now... kmlawson
Ok, I have tried to add some more of the basic materials on this, but there is a lot of detail yet left out. Wakabayashi's article has great detail although he is highly critical of the "feminist paradigm shift" Yoshimi has the most famous book out. Tanaka includes information on Allied forces and prostitution.
On sexually transmitted disease
I deleted the following part. Because a reason of the system is prevention of sexually transmitted disease. If women have it, Japs get it too!
Please read US Official Wartime Report.
And most of them are returned to home. However, they are discriminated in Korea by old moral.
- Conditions in these brothels were very harsh, and many were never kept clean. Those women who contracted sexually transmitted diseases from the soldiers were often left to die or shot.
Number of the women
Some researchers say 20k is still too many. Anyway, 300k is sillion (Why Japs were there? Sex? No! To fight!!).
About this subject, there are too many political words. So, we must choose facts among them.
I think we must beware people who brand enemy "revisionist(s)". If it's OK, we can even call them "masked communist(s)". If it was true, such manner is not fair, as we know enough.
US and South Korean use
Recently added: "US had same system in occupied Japan after World War II, and it was stopped by Eleanor Roosevelt. Even South Korea had same system in Korean War and Vietnam War."

The online reference seems to discuss organised prostitution, which is not quite the same thing as CW. Am I missing something? Markalexander100 09:51, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)
