OK, concede large scale military brothels, but I don't see coerced by the government, which is pretty key to the WWII comfort women comparison.  You don't give pep talks to people about their patriotic duty whom you are coercing.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

You don't? Seems to me a pretty standard technique. It's used plenty with draftees, for example.

In any case, it seems sort of curious that something as simple as a change in government and the use of patriotic pep talks convinced a large swathe of Korean women to voluntarily become prostitutes.

You're leaving out massive economic destruction and huge refugee populations.  Plus a couple hundred thousand GIs with plenty of money to spend.

Note that neither the wiki article nor Squeeze's link about the law suit assert coercion by the government.

Fair enough. They may very well have been forced into prostitution through economic necessity.

Also fair enough. That said, the existence of pep talks about doing your patriotic duty by becoming a prostitute makes it clear that the government exerted at least some soft power to convince women to become comfort women.

The clip was rather messy, but it seems the Korean girls received great pleasure.

Latest news today is interesting.  It seems north Korea is adopting a carrot and stick approach to the west.
First the nukes. Stick!
Now....they'really claiming to have invented a hangover free alcohol. Carrot!

Alas I somewhat doubt their research on this one "the great leader has invented this alcohol that leaves no hang over. So you tried it last night. How do you all feel?"
"....Great!"
"....Fine"
"....Better than ever!"
"Ugh..... please not so loud"
"Arrest him!"

The pulled pork didn't go over very well.

Also, how can you do BBQ without any sides?

Eddie Teach

They thought the pulled pork was great in a sandwich. That's how I usually eat it anyway.
