 Thu Apr 26, 2007 3:20 pm GIs frequented Japan's 'comfort women' |
|
| Quote: | Japan's abhorrent practice of enslaving women to provide sex for its troops in World War II has a little-known sequel: After its surrender � with tacit approval from the U.S. occupation authorities � Japan set up a similar "comfort women" system for American GIs.
An Associated Press review of historical documents and records shows American authorities permitted the official brothel system to operate despite internal reports that women were being coerced into prostitution. The Americans also had full knowledge by then of Japan's atrocious treatment of women in countries across Asia that it conquered during the war.
Tens of thousands of women were employed to provide cheap sex to U.S. troops until the spring of 1946, when Gen. Douglas MacArthur shut the brothels down. |
