OSAKA--Toru Hashimoto, co-leader of the Japan Restoration Party, stunned and flustered a U.S. military commander in Okinawa earlier this month with a suggestion that legalized sexual services be used to keep Marines’ sexual appetites under control.

The disclosure came on the evening of May 13, hours after he said “comfort women,” or those forced to provide sex to Japanese soldiers during World War II, were a necessary part of war.

Hashimoto, also Osaka mayor, told reporters in the city hall that he made the proposal when he visited U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma in Okinawa Prefecture in early May.

My Comment: So after saying that sex slaves were necessary to reward "brave" Japanese troops during World War II .... Osaka's mayor is now saying this nonsense. I am sure this is raising eyebrows in many places .... and in some places (I suspect) disgust.
