See, the Democratic Party has them too. Only there, they’re called “Discomfort Women”.
Like Pelosi.

I think the guy’s a bit of a goofball, at least in this area:
Hashimoto said he recently visited Okinawa in southern Japan and told the U.S. commander there “to make better use of the sex industry.”
“He froze, and then with a wry smile said that is off-limits for the U.S. military,” he said.
“I told him that there are problems because of such formalities,” Hashimoto said, explaining that he was not referring to illegal prostitution but to places operating within the law. “If you don’t make use of those places you cannot properly control the sexual energy of those tough guys.”
Now, the average Asian politician would take hypocritical umbrage at the idea of foreigners soiling (from their perspective) the bodies and reputations of their womenfolk. Not Hashimoto.

Just nuke-worthy.I think actions, not words, are nuke-worthy. For instance, Chinese figures have said they would nuke American cities if the US came to Taiwan's rescue during an invasion. Now, if they actually nuke American cities, retaliation would be obligatory. It's clear from the fact that we haven't rained nukes on China that their provocative words alone aren't nuke-worthy, and these were high-level military officials talking about future contingencies rather than civilian officials talking about the past.

I recall when I was in Korea that a black soldier was found one morning back in Seoul, tied to a pole having been castrated and bleeding to death. The story going around was that he had raped a Korean woman and the family found him and meted out their own justice. That was in early ‘53.

The Forgotten War isn't entirely forgotten.
