At that time, the European military, like the Japanese military, had contracts with civilian brothels for the exclusive use of their soldiers.
The Japanese and European armies did not contract with Individual Women.
The Soviet didn't do this ,so the Soviet soldiers massively raped civilian women everywhere they went.
The problem is that the comfort women organization, whose executives were indicted last year, has been using old women who were not even comfort women to collect donations all over the world, worsening relations between Japan and South Korea, as well as between SKorea and the US.
Because comfort women organizations are Pro-North Korea faction.
They are also activists for the withdrawal of US military bases in South Korea, and their goal is to destroy the US-South Korea alliance for North Korea.
The South Korean government had also used it as a diplomatic tool.
So the "Final and Irreversible" Japan-South Korea comfort women agreement was brokered by the US in 2015 to contain this.
It was Vice President Biden (Now US President) who worked hard to negotiate it.
However, recently, credible studies about Comfort Women (Wartime Prostitutes )have been conducted in Japan, South Korea and the US. One of them is Professor Ramseyer.

@shaunodwyer@SzendiChelsea@SayakaChatani Mr. Ishii was referring to the refutation of Prof.Ramseyer's article on comfort women written by Western Edo period researchers and gender researchers.
The Japanese military contracted with Civilian-Run Brothels to prevent the rape of civilian women,
not with individual women.
@shaunodwyer@SzendiChelsea@SayakaChatani If the treatment of these women was poor, contrary to the contract between the women and the brothel owner, it is the private brothel owner who should be blamed, right?
The people who wrote the rebuttal to Professor Ramseyer did not even understand this.
@shaunodwyer@SzendiChelsea@SayakaChatani On the Korean peninsula, Korean brothel owners were collecting Korean women.
In Japan, Japanese brothel owners were collecting Japanese women.
@Vincredible__ Do you know African Samurai "Yasuke"? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasuke
In the 1600's, Shogun Oda Nobunaga took over an African who was a servant of missionaries and made him an official samurai. Yasuke was part of Nobunaga's entourage and saw him through to his end.
"A number of Korean terrorists were confirmed to have taken advantage of the Great Kanto Earthquake to carry out subversive activities under orders from the Koryo (Korean) Communist Party and other from abroad"
"A vigilante caught a Korean wandering near the town's only drinking water supply and found him in possession of poison"
”A Korean man took advantage of the darkness of the night and detonated a bomb, killing and wounding many Japanese"
@nick_kapur@Harvard_Law Meanwhile, South Korean Professors and Politicians running for mayor of Seoul and Busan South Korea, sent a written statement in support of Professor Ramseyer to Harvard University.
..However, in the 30 years since the comfort women issue was raised, not a single document has been presented to prove that Korean women were forcibly taken away by Japanese government officials』
@nick_kapur@Harvard_Law The South Korean scholars said,
"Foreigners who consider themselves conscientious are using this issue to complement their own ideology, which is hindering the normalization of Japan-South Korea relations".
