Japan forced comfort women into sexual slavery
Apr 30^th, 2013 at 4:40pm

Japanese government denies that there is no evidence that Japan is not responsible for the compulsory mobilization of comfort women. However, this is wrong. The United States Office of War Information report of interviews with 20 comfort women in Burma found that the girls were induced by the offer of plenty of money, an opportunity to pay off family debts, easy work, and the prospect of a new life in a new land, Singapore. On the basis of these false representations many girls enlisted for overseas duty and were rewarded with an advance of a few hundred yen. According to a US army investigation reports that investigated war prisoners in Kunming, China in April 1945, there were testimonies that people applied for a job at a Japanese factory, but ended up in sexual slavery. Moreover, there are testimonies of proof of enforced sexual slavery of 20 Korean comfort women found in Myanmar by the US army. Horace Underwood delivered reports compulsory mobilization of comfort women to the US government, and in the Netherlands State Paper Archives, there also are proofs of compulsory mobilization.

Chimp, did you post that because you wanted to discuss the myriad crimes against humanity commited by Imperial Japan during the second world war or are you just looking for excuses to post pictures of primates? Do yoj even know what the Office of War information was or were you aware that OWI ceased to exist in September of 1945?

Of course, it's to post pictures of apes! Everything else would require you to not be a complete smacking idiot.

I think she meant to say the Japanese government denies that there is evidence of compulsory sex slavery during their occupation of most of Asia. Instead Jessica told us that the Japanese government acknowledges that there is evidence, which I suppose is as close to acceptance of guilt as anyone is likely to get out of them on this topic. The Japanese as notorious historical revisionists in that regard.

Do so by all means but its still a matter of serious friction between South Korea and Japan. The key issue is not that it happened but that Japan still refuses, 70 years later, to admit that it happened.

I wouldn't argue that the German and Russian soldier committed rapes by the score. "kum frau" were the only two words of German most Red soldiers knew.

But comfort women forced to live with an army, travel with them and always be available were purely a Japanese practice, I think.
