米国に対して卑屈な産経が馬鹿なのは、慰安婦問題で、米国に遠慮して、韓国人米軍慰安婦の話を引き合いに出さないで、ライダハンを引き合いにだすこと。
米軍用慰安所は日本軍用慰安所を真似たともいわれており、こっちのほう比較対象としては適切。
ライダハンは、ほんまもんのレイプだろ？
For many Vietnamese, 30 April 1975 marked a joyous day after 20 years of death and destruction at the hands of both indigenous and foreign fighters.
But for a significant number of children fathered as a result of rape by South Korean soldiers, it was the start of a living hell.
“I was 18 when my mother finally sat me down and told me she had been raped by Korean soldiers - not once but three times. My two sisters are also mixed blood or Lai Dai Han as we are known in Vietnam."
The story of South Korea’s involvement in the Vietnam War is largely untold.
Around 300,000 troops joined American forces in 1964. South Korea’s contingent was bigger than that of Australia or New Zealand - second only to the US military. Troops were largely concentrated in Vietnam’s Central Province.
South Korean troops were not alone in their exploitation of civilian women but their country has never acknowledged the allegations or taken steps to investigate.
In 1987, the Amerasian Homecoming Act resettled the children of American soldiers in the United States. 21,000 Amerasians and more than 55,000 family members made homes on US soil as a result.
South Korea did not follow suit. According to Mr Nhat, a Ho Chi Minh City-based travel agent, an estimated 800 rape victims are still living and now determined to tell their stories. They want South Korea to recognise the children its soldiers fathered.
Mrs Ngai was 24 and still a virgin when she was first raped. “During my nursing shift, I went home to take a lunchtime nap. A South Korean commander from a nearby base appeared in my room and started hugging me. I froze. I felt petrified. No-one could argue with soldiers. He started touching my body and then raped me. I shouted out loud for help but no-one came. Afterwards I cried for days but my parents just shouted at me. They thought I had had sex with him of my own free will. No-one would believe me. My parents told me to abort the child so I tried to do it with medicine but it didn’t work. Sometime after, I gave birth to a little girl. I thought about committing suicide but somehow I found a way to carry on.”
Once ‘defiled’ by Korean soldiers, women were labelled ‘fair game’ for fellow comrades. This warped code of honour sealed Mrs Ngai’s fate for a second time. Catching her breath between sobs, she explained: “The father of my first-born child returned to South Korea but sent another soldier to my house on the pretence of checking up on the baby. Once again, this man moved towards me holding me tightly before pulling me down to the ground and raping me on the floor. He later returned to Korea too and I gave birth again to another daughter. I cried every day.”
Incredibly, Mrs Ngai was raped a third time the following year by yet another Korean solider who had been briefed on her whereabouts by departing colleagues. “After it happened a third time I felt very vulnerable and miserable - like there was no hope anyone would believe me.”
Meanwhile, in Ninh Hoa District, Khanh Hoa Province, Cu Thi Hong Lien, now 68, is also trying to make sense of a life blighted by abuse.
One day, the soldier treated his new ‘surrogate daughter’ to a glass of Coke while she was tidying his living quarters. Mrs Lien doesn’t remember what happened in the immediate aftermath of consuming the liquid.
She said: “The next thing I knew I was waking up from a very deep sleep. I realised straight away that I had had sexual intercourse. It was 4pm and I was sitting in his living room in a pool of blood.”
Mrs Lien believes the high-ranking soldier slipped a heavy sedative into her drink before raping her. Later she discovered she was pregnant and gave him the news.
強姦、準強姦のケース。
慰安婦の子どもたち、というのは聞かない。彼女らは性労働者で、概ね軍ーー日本軍ないし米軍ーーの規則で管理されていたからだ。
ライダハンを出してもいいが、米軍慰安婦 をだし、それよりひどいケースとしてあげるべき。
本来なら、日本軍、米軍、韓国軍によって性的犠牲になった女性たちのアジア女性基金でも呼びかけるべきだ。
