U.S. Military Prostitution in Asia

By Katharine H.S. Moon

Excerpted from Sex Among Allies: Military Prostitution in U.S./Korea Relations

Columbia University Press, 1997





The U.S.-Korean history of military prostitution shares many of the characteristics and tensions present in other sites of overseas U.S. bases, especially in Asia. The economic dependence of local camptown residents on the presence of U.S. troops is not unique to South Korea. For example, Takazato Suzuyo, a political activist on Okinawa, reported that Okinawa, which served as a R&R area to U.S. troops in Vietnam, lived off U.S. dollars:

In its heyday, there were more than 1,200 "approved" bars, night clubs, and restaurants on Okinawa, and soldiers spent money freely. B-52 bombers were taking off from Kadena [US Air Force] base almost every day to bomb North Vietnam, while returning soldiers from Vietnam, with their chest pockets filled with dollar bills, sometimes spent all their money in one night.

In Olongapo and Angeles in the Philippines, where the U.S. Subic Naval Base and Clark Air Force Base were respectively located (until the withdrawal of U.S. forces in 1992), "[t]here was virtually no industry except the 'entertainment' business, with approximately 55,000 registered and unregistered prostitutes and a total of registered 2,182 R&R establishments. By 1985 the U.S. military had become the second largest employer in the Philippines, hiring over 40,000 Filipinos. . . . The sum of their salaries amounted to almost $83 million a year."



Ideologies around race and nationality have also contributed to the social inequalities and conflicts, especially affecting prostitutes, in the U.S. camptown communities in Asia. Enloe writes that "[c]lass and race distinctions inform all social relations between the U.S. military and the host community." The racism demonstrated by American soldiers toward Asians in Vietnam and Korea are well-documented. Lloyd Lewis notes that "soldiers in all branches of the armed services [in Vietnam] recount receiving the same indoctrination" that the "enemy is Oriental and inferior." The racist terms for Vietnamese -- "gook, slant, slope, dink . . . or a half a dozen local variations" -- had all been employed previously by Americans [toward Japanese in World War II and Koreans and Chinese in the Korean War] to designate yellow-skinned peoples." Max Hastings has noted in his history of the Korean War that the"Eighth Army was forced to issue a forceful order" in the summer of 1951 that soldiers cease "to take a perverse delight in frightening civilians" and attempting to "drive the Koreans off roads and into ditches." The order concluded with"We are not in this country as conquerors. We are here as friends." Hastings also includes a comment by a Marine, Selwyn Handler: "Koreans were just a bunch of gooks. Who cared about the feelings of people like that? We were very smug Americans at that time." Bruce Cumings recounts the racism among Americans, soldiers and diplomats alike, in the late 1960s:"Their racism led them to ask me, because I was living with Koreans and they rarely ventured out to 'the economy,' things like whether it was true that the Korean national dish, kimch'i, was fermented in urine."



Racist stereotypes of Asians within the American society have mixed with sexist stereotypes of Asian women to foster American participation in camptown prostitution in Asia. The main military newspaper, Stars and Stripes, encouraged soldiers to explore Korea's "nighttime action," especially the kisaeng party, the "ultimate experience":

Picture having three or four of the loveliest creatures God ever created hovering around you, singing, dancing, feeding you, washing what they feed you down with rice wine or beer, all saying at once, "You are the greatest." This is the Orient you heard about and came to find.

A U.S. Army chaplain I interviewed in April 1991 noted the following:

What the soldiers have read and heard before ever arriving in a foreign country influence prostitution a lot. For example, stories about Korean or Thai women being beautiful, subservient--they're tall tales, glamorized. . . . U.S. men would fall in lust with Korean women. They were property, things, slaves. . . . Racism, sexism -- it's all there. The men don't see the women as human beings--they're disgusting, things to be thrown away. . . . They speak of the women in the diminutive.

But why does CNN's selected tourist to India leave such things out, all in order to propagate their one-sided - and quite untenable - case for "all Indians are rapists and racist rapists too boot"? The media eagerly provides the unfortunate experiences of x many tourists in India, misusing these narratives as sobstories of persecution instead, and they combine their news reports/opinion pieces with the suddenly-popular interest in rape cases in India - though no one seemed to have really cared about the many victims before - all in order to use these to stab Hindu society with as the culprit: "Hindus are rapists, because Hindus are the majority in India, and Hindu men/society is therefore patriarchal". Minus the fact that it's really christoislamics and de-heathenised seculars that are the perpetrators, while Hindu and other Dharmic men of the country are the ones that continue to try to protect the womenfolk.

Such disingenuity in local and western media and commentators emerging from the woodwork to deliver their condemnation is deliberate, of course, and proves it all to be no more than orchestrated psy-ops. It is absurd how many Indian-origin anti-Hindu wom/men want appear from absolutely nowhere to chime in about the topic everywhere and are busy pointedly blaming Hindu religion about this - which shows they have an agenda and don't really care about the victims, just like they never cared about them before - when the same people were nowhere to be seen in all the many cases of islamic gangrape of Hindu Harijan women. Those were not committed by secular Indians bearing Hindu names, but faithful, clearly identifiable jihadis doing what islamics have always done: rape infidel women. And of course none of the Hindu-baiting critics will *ever* mention the systematic rape of Hindu Vanavasi women in the northeast by christian terrorist outfits like the NLFT. The silence of the Hindu-baiters shows that they are christian.



The real case of largescale sexual exploitation and rape of women - and which is entirely racist and christian in foundation - goes on in the instances exported by the christowest into Asian and African and other "3rd world" nations. And this is never covered in depth and over a prolonged period and in the international arena. At best it may get a once-off local coverage somewhere. And no one ever blames christianism of course. Yet the line from christianism to exploitation of "Hamitic" women is as clear and straight as the line connecting islamic jihad=islam and its equally-systematic rape and kidnap of kafiri women. But the monotheisms don't want all that in the news, let alone for the data to be analysed correctly with the blame apportioned to where it deserves to be.)[/color]



[color="#0000FF"]On Okinawa, U.S. servicemen from the Kadena Air Base "can be seen in town (Naha) wearing offensive T-shirts" depicting "a woman with the letters LBSM," which means "little brown sex machine." The "brown" refers to the Filipino and Thai women who constitute the majority of military prostitutes on Okinawa. Aida Santos reveals that Olongapo sells a variation on the theme--a popular T-shirt"bearing the message 'Little Brown Fucking Machines Powered with Rice.'" She emphasizes that in the Philippines, "[r]acism and sexism are now seen as a fulcrum in the issue of national sovereignty."[/color]



[color="#800080"](The last line: Philippines as a christian nation low-down in the christian hierarchy was specifically groomed for this. Like it or not, to christianism, that's what Hamitic christians are for. It is christianism that has reduced them to people who can't even say no to the aggressor, and every demur and objection from them is weak, half-hearted and becomes merely an excuse for the aggressor to continue terrorising them. Poor Filipinos, they should dump christianism. But they're stuck on the drug. Being heathen won't stop the aggressos - who'll be all the more criminal - but your No at least will be absolute, and a heathen govt won't be betraying its own population to side with alien christoterrorists just because they are higher up in the christion hierarchy.)[/color]



The presence of U.S. military servicemen in Asia generates significant social transformations that affect both the host Asian society and the American society across the Pacific. Thanh-dam Truong has asserted that the U.S. military's use of Thailand as the major R&R base for U.S. soldiers fighting in Vietnam has spawned the now booming sex tourism industry all across the country, winning Thailand the ignoble title, "Asia's brothel." Filipinos have charged that U.S. servicemen have brought AIDS and HIV into their country. Prostitutes in Olongapo, along with the umbrella feminist organization, GABRIELA, and health organizations, pushed the Philippine government to"obtain a guarantee that all U.S. service personnel coming into the Philippines be tested for HIV." In 1988, the Philippines Immigration Commissioner required all U.S. servicemen entering the Philippines to present certificates verifying that they are AIDS-free.



[color="#0000FF"]In addition, sexual relations between American men and Asian prostitutes have created a living legacy of mixed-raced children who are rejected by both their mother's and father's societies. Maria Socorro "Cookie" Diokno, an active leader in the Philippines' anti-base movement, has referred to the children born of American servicemen and Asian women as "Amerasian 'souvenir' bab[ies]." ABC's Prime Time (May 13, 1993) depicted Amerasian children in the Philippines who had been abandoned by their soldier-fathers and were living with their impoverished mothers, scavenging for food among heaps of rubble and waste. Enloe reports that "[o]f the approximately 30,000 children born each year of Filipino mothers and American fathers, some 10,000 [were] thought to become street children, many of them working as prostitutes servicing American pedophiles." Enloe adds that a Filipino "insider" has noted that many others have been sold, with "Caucasian-looking children . . . allegedly sold for $50-200 (around P1,000-4,000), whereas the Negro-fathered ones fetch only $25-30 (around P500-600)."[/color] Johnston's Mom in Songt'an, Korea, also tried to give up her sons to adoption, after earlier having given up a daughter. But in the end, she could not bear to do it and went back to prostitution in order to keep her boys. In the film, Camp Arirang, one barwoman in Songt'an laments the need to give up her half African-American son one day; black Amerasian children are most shunned in Korean society, so most mothers try to send them to the United States for a chance at education and a future. She has already torn up all photographs of herself with her son because she knows she must let him go. In a voice cracking with emotion, she calmly says, "All I want him to know is that he was born in Korea, that his mother is Korean, and that she is dead. It will be easier for him that way."



[color="#800080"](And that's another thing no one discusses: how christianism spreads its christian hobby of paedophilia all over Asia/Africa. Yet its truly epidemic. So christian is extra silent.

What makes the blue bit 'interesting' for another reason is the AmeriKKKan/general western sudden hobby of "adopting" [abducting] Asian/African/"ethnic" kids - even those stolen by christian orphanages from heathen parents and put into christian "orphanages" for the christowest to adopt. Yet the AmeriKKKans never seem to want to adopt the kids they had sired and then dumped and left behind to rot in Asian countries. <- Which is another way to tell that western adoptions of 'coloured' babies is no more than a passing fad for them. They don't really care. They never did. But if called on it, their retort is to play the Great Benevolent Intervention: "You people are so poor you can't even look after your own kids, you should be grateful we step in to 'save' them in our magnanimity/charity. Our adopt-a-3rd-world-baby fad is NOT racist because, look, we're adopting 'coloured' babies! Which proves we've overcome our past racism." <=circular reasoning> It's actually the old racism that's continuing, but morphed into its latest form.)[/color]



[color="#0000FF"]The withdrawal of U.S. naval bases from the Philippines in 1992 also left behind a legacy of approximately 50,000 Amerasian children in the Philippines, with an estimated 10,000 of them living in Olongapo, which had housed the U.S. Subic Naval Base.[/color] The law firm of Cotchett, Illston, and Pitre of Burlingame, California, filed a class action suit against the U.S. government on behalf of Amerasian children left behind in the Philippines in March 1993. The plaintiffs would"ask the federal court to order the Navy to provide funds for the education and medical care of these children until they reach 18 years of age." The prostitute-mothers of these children and several leading Philippine civic organizations, such as GABRIELA, as well as the Council of Churches, mobilized such legal action.



Asian societies have borne the burden of the painful repercussions of militarized prostitution, but the American society has not gone untouched. Many of the prostitutes who end up divorced from their GI husbands (an estimated 80% of Korean-GI marriages end up in divorce) go back into prostitution around military camp areas in the United States. In the film The Women Outside, officials from the Mayor's Office of Midtown Enforcement in Manhattan state that some U.S. servicemen have been paid by flesh traffickers to marry women in Korea and bring them to the United States for work in massage parlors and brothels.
