state-sponsored prostitution

It's the first time I've heard about state-sponsored/state-condoned prostitution by the Korean government of Korean women to American soldiers stationed in Korea. I didn't really like the tone of the article (it seemed a little disjointed and doubtful of the ex-prostitutes' claims), but it certainly is an issue that should be highlighted.

It's funny, or perhaps more tragic, the things that citizens are asked to do in the name of "patriotism."
