I'd be interested to know if there has been a war in the 10,000 years since the end of the last ice age where the presence of troops didn't lead to an increase in the "sex trade". There's a reason why it's called the "World's Oldest Profession".

Whoa. You seem to be confusing prostitutes ("World's Oldest Profession") with sex slaves.

Not exactly the same thing. You do understand that right?

Yes I do and I should have read more than the title of the article before posting. My bad.

I understand the difference, but I wonder--can there really be THOUSANDS of ABDUCTED women from these countries in the span of a few years? It just...seems a bit off.

I think it's a bit sensationalistic--what likely happens in most cases is that the women are already prostitutes or are not averse to being in that "game" but are misled about the nature of their employment when they are brought over.

Not to say that there aren't any sex slaves, but I don't buy that thousands of people are all being kidnapped. Some? yes.
