History Repeats Itself
History is repeating itself. Now a 12 year old Japanese girl has been …… by three American soldiers based in
Years ago during world-war II, it was not one female, but two hundred thousand girls who were victimized while being forced to offer consolation services to Japanese military personnel.
It would be an inhuman task to feed an army in occupied territory if there are insufficient food stocks. And there are only a few among us who can pass up “tantalizing fruit”. An ex-consolation girl might well play with the thought: “couldn’t Japan supply consolation girls to the American forces in Okinawa as penance, instead of denouncing the three American service men for bad conduct?”
“No,” said one observer. The party at fault here and thus to be punished, are the leaders and warmongers who started the war and enacted military service. Solders are gone for months, indeed they may be separated from families, friends and girlfriends for years. Only after the war is over, if they are lucky, do they get back to their hometowns. An army is also a victim of war.
War should be denounced and be eliminated.
