Moral objection to comfort women

While reading these articles my biggest moral objection pertains to the necessity of the comfort women. Many articles allude to or simply state that providing comfort women for the young men in the military was necessary to prevent against rape and pillaging. One of my objections to this is that these Japanese soldiers did not need comfort women, instead they should have been better policed. The Asia Times article raises this point, “"the Japanese army is probably the most undisciplined army in the world today". Instead of punishing the solders for the rapes, the government provided women that they could legally use for sex. This creates a very unhealthy allowance for those men in the military, and instead of rewarding them for their bad behavior the government should have cracked down and punished the men. The article points out that the amount of rapes lowered after providing more comfort women, but what about the women who were coerced or pressured into working in the sex industry? It seems to me that the government hid behind the idea that comfort women were “choosing” to be sexual objects.
