... were there french men serving in the german military / para-military? ukrainian men? jewish men ? etc etc if so, france, etc etc must have allowed the germans to do it to them, by your logic. Do you REALLY think the Nazis would trust "slave soldiers" with actual weapons? These were volunteers, and I don't know of many, if any, Jews who were permitted, even if they actually volunteered. The Nazis would have rounded them up and sent them to the camps. It's the same logic with the Japanese. They had a major fight on their hands with the Allies. Do you really think they had the spare resources to house and feed hundreds of thousands of sex slaves? Why would they do that when there are many women who would do it voluntarily, or by coercion of their families who wanted the money? There were very few cases of sex slavery, most notably some dutch women in Indonesia. I also recall Yon discussing that the Japanese officers involved in that case were prosecuted by their own military, but I would have to get that data for you.. Bottom line.. The Japanese were CERTAINLY responsible for any number of atrocities (and actually many of these Korean soldiers who served as prison guards are included as culprits).. But there is no evidence (the US spent $30 million trying to find it) that the Japanese army forced women into sex slavery.. Did they facilitate the locals setting houses of prostitution? Certainly.. Hell, the US did the same thing in Hawaii.. And I'm sure the Chinese Nationalists did the same thing.. But when you're fighting a way, the last thing you're going to spend money on is feeding and housing sex slaves. Let their soldiers spend their salaries on prostitutes maybe, but certainly not be responsible for a bunch of women, especially in a colony they have ruled for the previous 20 years. Korean men would have been in an uproar over this.. As for NK.. if there ever is another outbreak of hostilities, the refugees will be spilling over into China, not S. Korea..

China and North Korea: I have heard, that part of the reason that China does not rein them in, is because they don't want a lot of North Koreans streaming over the border into China. I am thinking the primary reason though, is they don't want to see South and North Korea United. Because if they became United, they would be a powerful Democratic force right on their border. They know how strong Korea has gotten and North Korea would just make them that much stronger plus extend the border with China by double. Nevertheless, we may have to take a chance and go in there and just wipe out their nukes. I am very worried about either China, or North Korea destroying South Korea. That has become such a sweet country, that I worry about them greatly. I just learned, the man from nowhere that I've been recommending was the highest grossing film in South Korea in 2010. Old boy, won the Cannes film Festival. But my favorite is still "Descendents of the sun" because it projects such a healthy society and it was filmed in 2016 in Greece? It is also important to remember, that South Korea has sister countries in the West. The main two would be the United States and France. France is where they get their intellectual depth and the United States is where they just get a good liberal arts education.. Both cultures and knowledge of which the kids have taken back to South Korea and commingled with their own culture of hard work and commitment to education, to turn them into a "humanitarian" superpower practically overnight.
