I had an old friend that used that expression a lot.
I really didn't know about it either.

How about when he pushes the red button to start a nuclear war thnking it's a request to get the butler to bring him a cheeseburger and then he just gets shitty and demands the nukes just because he's been corrected.

First, it was the Japanese that abused and exploited these women. Their stories are well documented for anyone who wants to read about it. And then later, when American soldiers were based in Korea, there was an entire industry that grew up around the bases.

Wasn't a problem for Japan? Wasn't a problem for the U.S.? He can't be serious.
