Soldiers patronizing prostitutes?
Why, I’m so surprised...
If they were having gay trysts the left wing media wouldn’t be promoting this idiotic story.
A soldiers job is to break things and kill people. When they aren’t doing that or training to do that, expect them to drink a bit, relax and visit disreputable women.
Sheesh, leave the soldiers alone.
Psst, just do not talk about sailors on shore leave, Hotel Street Honolulu.
The place to get”screwed,stewed and tattooed” in the Pacific War.
During World War Two, a slightly different situation was present in Honolulu. During the war, over 7 million men were stationed in or passed through the city on their way to fight in the South Pacific. This, of course, provided a high demand for sex work, as some of the men coming through town hadn’t seen a woman for months. At any given time, over 200 women who had come over from the mainland were working on Hotel Street, a block full of brothels that charged three dollars for three minutes. Though the women were required to have regular medical checks, which resulted in a surprisingly low rate of venereal diseases, there were many other strict regulations over the women’s actions. Some of these were that: prostitutes were not to be seen in public with army officers, they were not to wire money home to their families, were not to own cars and they were not to have bank accounts. The prostitutes and the madams who ran the assembly line-like brothels paid taxes on their respective yearly incomes of up to $40,000 and up to $150,000 (madams). Because the women were making such huge sums of money and yet still had men constantly lined up on street, they decided to raise their prices. The chief of police (and strong opposition to the brothels), Frank Steer, said, “The price of meat [is] still three dollars,” dehumanizing the women and signifying a contempt of the lucrative profession
