I'm not so certain. This all seems like an unspoken/unwritten history (save for the bits footage taken of the pople involved or first hand/second hand accounts like you've heard. I wouldn't be suprised if similar things are happening today. Instead of quaint Japanese girls, they are quaint (fill in the blank) girls.

I wish I could have talked to my grandpa about his time during the war... there are so many things I would love to have known. The best I can do is talk to my mom or uncle about that kind of thing at this point.

That all sounds quite horrible though, and I'd hope the situation has changed at least in Japan.
