Exclamation Japan WWII 'comfort women' were 'necessary' - Hashimoto

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-22519384

Quote:
A prominent Japanese politician has described as "necessary" the system by which women were forced to become prostitutes for World War II troops.

Some 200,000 women in territories occupied by Japan during WWII are estimated to have been forced into becoming sex slaves for troops.

Many of the women came from China and South Korea, but also from the Philippines, Indonesia and Taiwan.

Mr Hashimoto, the co-founder of the nationalist Japanese Restoration Party, was the youngest governor in Japanese history before becoming mayor of Osaka.

In his latest controversial comments, quoted by Japanese media, he said: "In the circumstances in which bullets are flying like rain and wind, the soldiers are running around at the risk of losing their lives,"

"If you want them to have a rest in such a situation, a comfort women system is necessary. Anyone can understand that."
WTF .....

The Japanese were every bit as bad as the Nazi's. It's amazing how much they've gotten away with. At least the german's have some shame and acknowledgement of what they did. The Japanese still paint themselves as victims in WW2. They are probably the most racist nation in the world today.

Pretty shameful attitude to have, but I'm not surprised. They have a history of poor approach to equality.

Got to agree with this. I would urge people to read about the treatment of allied prisoners in Japanese prisoner of war camps because it may go some way to explain why the bomb was dropped. It was only a couple of generations ago... and like Alex said, at least the Germans acknowledge what happened.
