I have visited prostitutes, and I don't apologize for it. It was 1971, in a place called Vung Tau.

113. As a woman I wonder if those prostitutes

were forced into that life because of living in a war torn country as a means to stay alive or support their families. It is not an unusual occurance during war. I don't fault what anyone did when they were young but because the op has a good memory of it it does not follow necessarily that the women he was with have the same memory. A lot of women in that way had children that were not accepted in the community. I worked a clinic as a volunteer overseas at a military base in the 70's. I gave out the vd packets to men coming back from r and r in the phillipines. Obviously there were a lot of infected prostitutes there and from what I was told lots of very young girls working. These guys got to come back, get treated and go back with their lives but the girls and women left behind did not have that luxury.
