“Administrators grew wary of the emotional bonds that formed between [US military] men and Korean houseboys when bunking together. The paternal role taken on by soldiers was not conducive to military goals; they were there to fight a war, not act as fathers to Korean children, commanders argued. By taking up nurturing roles traditionally reserved for women, servicemen threatened the image of the military.”
― Susie Woo, Framed by War: Korean Children and Women at the Crossroads of US Empire
