到1945年8月时，美国军队数量达到1100万，此时美军数量只次于苏联军队，当时苏联军队数量达到1300万，但一个十分有意思的现象是，二战中美军有130万人感染性病，为什么美军如此特殊？ How badly does STDs spread?
美军得性病由来已久
In a survey at the time, the number of STDs in different battlefields was different for each thousand U.S. troops, 64 in Europe, 104 in the Mediterranean, 62 in the Middle East, 37 in the Southwest Pacific, and 17 in the Central and South Pacific.
According to Military Medicine, the U.S. Army lost seven million man-hours to STDs in World War I, and even dismissed more than 10,000 people. This loss is comparable only to the Spanish flu of 1918.
In World War II, when the United States was about to enter the war in 1940, the United States fully absorbed the lessons of World War I and constantly issued orders: requiring commanders at all levels to strictly abide by the regulations on the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, and stipulating places where they were strictly prohibited.
But some people's implementation measures were too magical, and they ran to hair salons, massage parlors, bars, etc. around the barracks to give prostitutes physical examinations — to "create a refreshing and clean consumption environment" for the soldiers. But now that the major media in the United States have fried the pan, they think this is not an admission to the legalization of pornography services?

In this poster, the girl looks pure and cute, but it reads "She may look clean, but she may have an STD." and "call girls, prostitutes will spread sexually transmitted diseases, etc."
It reads "Don't risk having sex with prostitutes, who may carry the virus." ”
Amateur prostitutes are just as dangerous as professional prostitutes.
The poster reads "Remember, they're waiting for you, stay away from STDs." Pictured are the soldier's parents and girlfriend.
美军为何有如此多人患性病
The primary factor is naturally that the MILITARY discipline of the US military is not strict, and the loose military discipline of the US is a problem that has lasted for a long time, and it has not been solved so far.
Due to the military discipline problems of the US military, as well as the us high-level in order to stimulate the morale of soldiers after the battle, the US military has a variety of recreational activities, resulting in the spread of venereal diseases.
Another very important factor is the crazy cruelty of the Japanese army.
Japan had the dirtiest plan in the history of war: the Golden Horse Project. Jinma is a well-known doctor of human virology in Japan, and he once proposed to the top level of the Japanese army that the indigenous people of the Pacific Islands have a rough personality, coupled with the hot weather, women are more open-chested and breast-exposed, and sexual relations are more chaotic. This can be exploited, and once the U.S. military has a relationship with the local indigenous people, it is very easy to get into trouble.
If the women on the island could be infected with the virus before the Japanese retreated, so that they could weaken the combat effectiveness of the American army, the Japanese army could win without a fight. His advice was adopted by the Japanese hierarchy in 1943, which led to the spread of STDs in the Pacific Theater.
