 An August 16, 2013, news article said that far-right Japanese nationalists were accusing South Korea of hypocrisy, because Japan had paid and apologized for the sexual slavery it perpetrated during World War II yet South Korea had not done the same in regard to the rape perpetrated by Korean soldiers during the Vietnam War.The article said that Japanese nationalists said that South Korea had a systematic rape operation during the Vietnam War which was similar to Japan's systematic rape operation during World War II.Norm Coleman wrote an October 13, 2015, opinion piece in Fox News where he said that South Korean president Park Geun-hye who was trying to make Japan apologize for the Korean comfort women issue would only have her "moral authority" undermined with regards to that issue if she continued to not make an "unequivocal apology" to the Vietnamese women who were victimized by Korean soldiers during the Vietnam War.
