Excuse me, but prostitutes work in a brothel. HOW they became prostitutes in that brothel is usually not what a patron of that brothel thinks about when he goes there. You can't blame american soldiers for what the japanese government did.

If the government of Japan was complicent in forcing women to work in those brothels, then the onus is on them.
