9327019 In normal usage, it is North American slang for a public toilet.
In this context, it is likely a reference to either: • brothels created by the Imperial Japanese Military [IJM] in World War II by forcing women and girls from captured territories into sexual slavery. Women came primarily from modern-day China, Korea, and the Phillipines, but many more were affected. The term comes from the phrase "comfort women," the nickname given to these women. The issue is considered part of Imperial Japan's war crimes, but it remains controversial and uncomfortably few attempts to rectify the issue have been made. • similar brothels after World War II, born of the IJM's program, but "serving" UN, US, and the newly-established Republic of Korea Army (South Korea). Many of the women who participated were ex-IJM comfort women who were unable to return to normal life due to Korean social mores. While the US (and now UN) military had a blanket ban on patronizing prostitutes, it was very difficult to police, and they could do nothing of the "camp towns" that voluntarily set up near the USFK bases. Indeed, the Korean government at the time encouraged these camps, because they generated a not-insignificant amount of income for the fledgling country; the camps were even designated "special tourist zones" so they could avoid new anti-prostitution laws. USMJ code now has it completely illegal to purchase any form of "companionship," so the last vestiges of the system are drying up, and the crimes against humanity involved (human trafficking, for one) are being addressed.
