"Yankee Go Home"

Moon's article about the camptown prostitution in South Korea creates a very bleak image of foreign military basing. Aside from abusing the land and businesses around the base is the extreme violation of human rights of the South Korean people. Most of the abuse may not originate from American soldiers, but the prostitution that many women find themselves stuck with has injured korean culture. Moon explains that the prostitutes have been labeled as outcasts, and the lack of activism and research in the situation has led to the continuance of the problem. Many prostitutes are impregnated by American soldiers and never see a dime of help. Others are abused by their pimps and lead a life of poverty and shame. And Moon's overall point is the disgust over state to state negotiations that essentially condone this.
