Are you looking for a job?

Answer 2

I didn't go to your link, so forgive my ignorance...one of my brother's is a Marine...the other brother is in the Navy..my brother in law is in the Army...

I learned about the whole human trafficking issue (different I know) when I lived in Thailand. After all I heard I was spooked: I was concerned that various members of my family (I don't know why my parents and my bro in law's parents raised them to be decent men in every way) might be part of the men going overseas and messing with 12 year old girls.

I also read the wonderful book Comfort Woman.

Well, I found out they were drinking a lot but thank God this was not the case. I lived for a time in some of the same countries they were stationed in..

I have lived all around the world, Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, South America...

But I want to tell you that the millitary doesn't "SPONSOR" sex slavery. Individual men participate in it but it is not backed by the millitary that I could see.

My father is half black and filipino and I have been to the Phillipines and I saw many things that were wrong but they seemed to me to be because of individual greed...

I saw misunderstandings that escalated into potential violence or rape, because of character.

I have been to all the "sex" cities: Manila, Bangkok, Tangiers, Kiev, Rio, and I can tell you that businessmen and other "sex tourists" keep this kind of thing going far more than the service people.

I do wish the government would do sweeps to keep service people away from this seediness, but in the end, you have to have a man love God and morality more than he wants to be with an enslaved or underage girl.

Answer 3

First of all.. all the information is from the 50s and 60s (if it's even true... which I'm sure it's not).

Secondly, the U.S. DoD does NOT send soldiers to Thailand for R&R from Iraq. LOL, I almost bust a gut LAUGHING at that one. That is so utterly ridiculous. Do you own a globe? Do you have any idea how far apart Thailand and Iraq are? LMAO. (Besides that... the DoD wouldn't dirty their hands with something so despicable, but I know I'd never convince you of that, so I thought I'd just point out the distance.)

LMAO... "sex slavery funded by the U.S. Gov't." You people kill me. LMAO. Sorry... I just can't stop laughing. You're so unintentionally funny!

Answer 4

Let's talk about today...not the past. Whore houses, and the like, certainly grow up around (NOT IN) military bases...that's just a fact of life. But it is certainly not institutionalized or officially sanctioned. Men who get caught in such situations are very much subject to discipline, but the military has no control over what goes on in the civilian community around the base. Its beyond their realm of authority. Countries overseas, where women are not as equal as they are here in the US, are more apt to see women drawn to the money from prostituting themselves, but again, as an entity, the US military has no control of these lifestyle choices, other than punishing military members when they get caught with their pants down...so to speak.

Answer 5

they're all paid and willing. It's been endorsed in the past as a neccessary evil. Troop morale and they always pop up around military encampments, supply and demand i guess, the army sometimes takes control rather than let it continue as a criminal act because it will continue as long as people are buying and someone is selling. I did not know they were doing this now, i'll look at yer article.

Your thesis paper cites sources from vietnam, this is not happening today. Phillipenes and okinowa, definitely happens illegally today but is not rampant and it is not institutionalized nor govt run.

The slavery your article cites was done by the korean govt and others not the USA. The article says so.

It is an unfortunate situation, they are driven by poverty. But the ones the US uses are "more or less" there of free will, certainly not forced by the army brass.

Answer 6

Oh please...

That's not true, at all. As a matter of fact, it goes against General Order #1.

If you want to study sex slavery in the military, check the Russian Army.

Answer 7

The humorous ingredient is which you maximum possibly have self assurance maximum of what you typed. i'm unlikely to exhibit screen your video link for 2 motives. a million. the government laptop i'm using blocks Youtube. 2. even if if it did not block it i'm prepared to guess money that's anti-US propaganda that takes edits of movies and tie them collectively to make it seem as though US troops are intentionally focused on the locals. best me if i'm incorrect. certainty of the priority is that in case you knew a number of the failings the Taliban and their supporters did you will not blame us if we did abuse them, even with the certainty that we are prohibited from doing so. a pair of month or 2 in the past 2 adult adult males beheaded a 14-year old woman in Afghanistan because of the fact she refused a marriage concept from one in all them. back in October a Taliban gunman shot 15-year old Malala Yousafzai interior the pinnacle because of the fact she replaced into preaching against the Taliban and in direction of guidance for females. those issues are only the top of the iceberg. US troops have been courtroom-martialed for by probability killing locals while the protection could not tutor they did each and everything of their ability to ward off killing them. If people who by probability killed locals have become locked up what makes you think of we would do it on purpose? A 2nd Marine sergeant only have been given courtroom-martialed for urinating on the corpses of adult adult males who have been attempting to kill them. besides the undeniable fact that they might have accomplished plenty worse including pee on you on an identical time as nonetheless alive and being dragged by using a shifting motor vehicle. shop dwelling on your bubble, your assessment relatively fails. the US might have their issues yet they don't burn adult adult males alive because of the fact they have been only accused of desecrating a Bible. that truthfully occurred some weeks in the past in Pakistan yet with a Koran.

Answer 8

Have you ever been to a military base? For anything other than the protest the very men and women who protect your right to protest? No? Then shut up...Enough said.

Answer 9

I guess that I was in the wrong US Army, because I sure didn't see any of this, and I remember a couple of times when it would have been nice to have such a thing.

Oh, and BTW, the US Army has made it illegal to visit brothels.

Answer 10

wow i hate the media they turn everyting up side down there is no funded prostutition on american bases if there was wed have a hell of lot moore recrutiments than we do right now

Answer 11

Your term paper is 10 to 30 years behind the times, and your question is nothing but anti-US rhetoric.

I remember in my Navy Cruises actually SEEING Soviet brothel-ships...

Oh, and I went to the PI and Thailand... and never indulged in the local girls... "Favors".
