BD, you really should not put out such BS if you do not know of which you talk. There are women who are prostitutes by force And there are women who are given little choice but prostitution. But the United States had nothing to do with them. if you were to really follow history, you would know that every culture has cases of women for hire, in one form or another. And most of them were because it was a way for women of low birth to gain wealth and position. The United States has a long standing policy against the use of prostitutes. While individuals may indulge, there has not been any sanctioned operations. Most are cases where people take advantage of a military base and set up shop at the nearest convenient location. As long as they do not cheat, steal, or abuse the troops, they are left alone. As is any local merchant.

In Korea, most of the women are those who have no family. Either orphans or those who violated the strict family code. Some are just kicked out because the family cannot support them. In any case, they are betrayed by a culture that normally would not allow the education and training of women for employment. Many of them chose the life rather than the other way around. One gal I knew in Korea, used to be a school teacher, but decided to join the profession. Her reason was that her male bosses were demanding the same action for the low pay of a teacher. Going pro allowed her to make more money and have a choice in who and when.

Most of the Koreans that I have talked to, said that the Japanese were abusive to them and would raid farm communities for slaves. The really young women would be sent to the houses to attend the troops. The rest would do labor that the Japanese did not want to do.
