Picture of the Day: Comfort Women Monument in New Jersey

Monument for victims of Japan's sexual slavery

This photo, taken on July 19, 2017, shows a monument dedicated to victims of Japan’s wartime sexual slavery erected in front of Trinity Episcopal Church in Bergen County in the U.S. state of New Jersey. A group of South Korean residents in Bergen installed the monument the same day in remembrance of “comfort women,” referring to those who were forced into sexual slavery by Japan’s military during World War II.

Lest we forget the suffering of the women and girls of South Korea during WWII and also during the Korean War itself. People (men and women both) can and sometimes do become barbarians during times of war. It is up to the military leadership to make sure THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN!!!! Sgt. Den Korea DMZ 1968-1969.

My error in the above. It should read of all Korea and all other nations involved in WW II. Sgt. Den

I’m not sure it’s a good idea to try to recruit interest to the subject of Comfort Women to low information Americans.

They might start googling terms about ‘human trafficking of Korean women’ and come across more hits on events that are occurring today closer to home than 75 years ago in Asia.

Depends on if they have their “BS Filters” enabled or not; when you discount regular prostitution labelled as human trafficking the numbers are pitiful. Which is of course why activists intentionally mislabel it, to pump up their claims. But yeah whatever, what do facts count for anyway? ❓
