Militarized Prostitution In Asia When a soldier in the United States Military is stationed in an Asian country what he imagines is the tropical beaches, palm trees and those beautiful exotic desirable women. The US Military along with the militaries from these Asian countries take this into consideration when it comes to the environment around US military bases. Rest and Recreation (R&R) sites are established for the soldiers for their personal enjoyment. These R&R sites, otherwise referred to my the soldiers as I&I (Intoxication & Intercourse), are clubs and bars in which the waitresses (prostitutes) especially cater to the soldiers sexual desires. Prostitution in these countries is illegal and the US Government claims to be against it. Unfortunately, the United States, a country that professes equality for all, is the biggest perpetrator in this cult of military prostitution. Prostitution in this case is part of the process of militarization, “the step-by-step process by which something becomes controlled by, dependent on, and derives its value from the military as an institution or militaristic criteria” (P. 281, Enloe, Emphasis in Original).
