Armée américaine et industrie du sexe

On a parfois présenté la prostitution accessible près des bases militaires américaines comme un "mal nécessaire" pour soutenir le moral des troupes. Vous aurez deviné que la question est bien plus complexe et controversée. Voici un court topo qui présente un bon survol de la problématique.

 Un extrait:

"Camptowns and prostitution thus became critical parts of a South Korean economy struggling to emerge from the devastation of war. South Korean government documents show male officials strategizing to encourage GIs to spend their money on women in Korea rather than Japan during leave time. Officials offered classes in basic English and etiquette to encourage women to sell themselves more effectively and earn more money. “They urged us to sell as much as possible to the GI’s, praising us as ‘dollar-earning patriots,’” recounts former sex worker Aeran Kim. “Our government was one big pimp for the U.S. military.”"
