Comfort women WW2: Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto defends controversial policy

Toru Hashimoto, the controversial Mayor of Osaka, Japan made even more enemies this week after defending Japan's controversial "comfort women" system.

During World War II, nearly 200,000 women from Japanese occupied territories were forced into prostitution as "comfort women". According to Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto, these sex slaves were necessary for the soldiers to "maintain discipline".

Hashimoto went on to tell the media, "In the circumstances in which bullets are flying like rain and wind, the soldiers are running around at the risk of losing their lives. If you want them to have a rest in such a situation, a comfort women system is necessary. Anyone can understand that."
The co-leader of the opposition Japan Restoration Party made a lame attempt at redeeming his statements by saying Japan should now "politely offer kind words to [former] comfort women."
