Picture of the Day: Comfort Women on Truk
These photos provided by the Seoul City government on Dec. 11, 2017, show South Korean comfort women who were taken to the South Pacific island of Truk. City officials said they found U.S. military documents and other material that show 26 Korean women were taken to the South Pacific island as sex slaves for Japanese soldiers during World War II. The Japanese military had a naval fleet on the island. (Yonhap)
Truk isn’t much of an “island paradise” even without a job like that. 🙁
Adds a new dimension to Keep on Trukin’.
Cash, gas, grass, or àss… nobody rides the Rengo Kantai for free.
Just pictures, don’t prove if they were in fact slaves (quite possible), willing volunteers or something in between.
No, they were all slaves. Just like all of the glasshouse girls, the room salon girls, the barbershop girls, “Songtan Sally”, and that old “lady” that used to wander around Itaewon in white vinyl tights…
Or something like that…
I can feel the love. I didn’t know the Japanese were such pillars of Humanity in WW2.
