Tearless

In the 1970s, the Korean government required camp town women to wear number tags and Sexually Transmitted Diseases test results on their chests at all times, pressured by the US government to lower STD rates among their soldiers. The women who were suspected to have STD were locked up in a detainment center and treated with harsh doses of penicillin that resulted in severe side effects and occasional deaths.
