sechan19Earlier this week, I touched on the news item that Japan's prime minister, Abe Shinzo, had been edging around the tense issue of the Japanese military's involvement in the comfort stations of World War II.
There's an excellent editorial in this morning's Los Angeles Times, written by a professor of law at George Washington University, discussing the Japanese prime minister's attempt to deny that the Japanese military took part in the comfort stations that were established to service soldiers during World War II. She gives a very good overview of some of the historical facts surrounding the case, as well as the Japanese government's history of trying to sidestep these facts.
Highly recommended reading.
