This article presents incredible amounts of helpful information.
In addition to this article I had the opportunity to interview a male family member about his time in the Air Force. He was stationed in South Korea in the late 1980s. Just as in the article suggested, he reaffirmed the information about the prostitution and human trafficking that was taking place in this time.
“Although the trafficking was not being done by the military, it was being done for us.”
One of his duties as a patrol officer was to close down the bars off the base and bring back all of the military members. They would start on the far end of the street and work their way down thru every bar and nearly every bar had some sort of prostitution. Many women were dancing naked above the bars and in cages.
“There was nothing that I as a military member, could do about it. It wasn’t done by our military and it was off base.”
Just as the article done by Donohoe suggests, the women were trafficked in from the Philippines and the Soviet Union.
