Let me ask you this, what is the statute of limitations here? 60 years? 6 years? last week?

and here's another question, what exactly does it cost us to acknowledge this mistake and apologize?
The Japanese government has refused to do anything about it. They were the ones that forced the women into the brothels. Why do you think the US should apologize? and goodfella? There have been brothels in war zones for as long as there have been wars. Should we apologize for all of them?
