ABSTRACT
Vietnam at one of their military establishments, which happened to be situated in Oji, a densely populated inner suburb of Tokyo. The purpose of the hospital perturbed many local residents, some of whom feared a whole range of possible consequences, including the introduction of cholera, the noise of helicopters bringing in patients, the prospect of school children at several schools in the vicinity being affected by the sight of maimed war victims, and the danger that an influx of footloose GIs would encourage the reemergence of local prostitution.
