I get the feeling that the women really just want the truth out and that people know what really happened. They want their suffering validated, for people to know what they went through in the war. Too much war is seen through the eyes of soldiers, and their sacrifices....women have long suffered the atrocities of war in shame and silence...
It is always women and children that suffer the most in wartime, that is the biggest atrocity imo.
To have the current government admit openly the fact that it happened would open it up for calls for compensation against them for the past atrocities. It is a damned if you do, damned if you don't type of stituation.
I can understand the government wanting to put this issue behind itself and move forward but until there is an official accounting and openness about the topic it will forever haunt Japanese Administrations in the future as well.
