One request I make is that you not call them "comfort women." The term “comfort women” is a Japanese government euphemism for enforced military sex slaves. Here's an article I wrote about them awhile ago. http://www.kimplicity.com/fkim/blog/2008/07/24/white-chrysanthemums/ The article is based on the website, http://www.thechrysanthemums.com/.
