Posted in: S Korea's surviving 'comfort women' spend final years seeking atonement from Japan See in context

Hope people understand the "comfort women" issue with their own heads by not swallowing the master narrative but searching for the primary materials by themselves.

The accusation on the issue is the baseless exaggerated one.

Japan has already acknowledged the existence of "comfort women" as legal wage workers. Japan acknowledged there were rare atrocity by lawless soldiers or lower units and apologized/compensated for those (1946 to 2001).

However, Koreans and some countries people assert there was large scale systematic atrocity by the national policy of Japan. But they never disclosed objective/verifiable evidence of their assertion. 

(A). If 30K to 200K Koreans were forced into prostitution and those except the survivors didn't return ( to think about the population ratio, 200K means more than 2 millions for the U.S. ), some concrete records would have existed. ( "testimony of victims' families/relatives about abductions with data and location identified", "documents or articles on newspapers about the parents who searched for their disappeared daughters after the war", "record of the names of disappeared/killed victims", etc. ) 

(B). If there had been so big scale atrocity, there would exist some records about the concrete incidents with date and location identified. ( like, "The Sand Creek massacre" at November 29, 1864, "Phong Nhi and Phong Nhat massacre" at February 12, 1968. ) 

(C). About "comfort women", they assert there were abduction/abuse/rape/massacre systematically done by the Japanese military,

then,

Did anyone disclose one name of "comfort women" killed by Japanese soldiers ? .... Never.

Did anyone disclose one name of the parents who searched for their disappeared daughters after the war ? .... Never.

Did anyone disclose one example of the concrete incident of the atrocity by the national policy with date and location identified ? .... Never.

They accuse the issue was the large scale systematic atrocity. But the above (A).,(B). and (C) lead the conclusion that their accusation is the exaggerated false one.
