WWII sex slaves were necessary for morale and discipline (Osaka mayor)

[pokerfan]

Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto, co-leader of a developing conservative party in Japan, argued that the approximately 200,000 'comfort women' forced to provide sex to Japanese soldiers in military brothels during the Second World War were necessary.

“To maintain discipline in the military, it must have been necessary at that time,” Hashimoto said. “For soldiers who risked their lives in circumstances where bullets are flying around like rain and wind, if you want them to get some rest, a comfort women system was necessary. That’s clear to anyone.”

Historians say up to 200,000 women, mainly from the Korean Peninsula and China, were forced to provide sex for Japanese soldiers in military brothels.

5. Apparently this asshat spoke with the commander at the US base in Okinawa

and suggested that US personnel take advantage of local sex workers. Here's the relevant portion from HuffPost.

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."
