ELI5:Are there prostitutes or camp follower types with modern armies?
gpt
The army, of course, does not 'officially support' prostitutes.

However, wherever there are soldier, there will be prostitutes. War time poverty compounds the effect, and often the soldiers who are foreign to the locale will enjoy the companies of the local girls. The military rather does not like its personnel spending time with hoes because they might get sick or give away intelligence to the enemies, but it is very difficult to not let soldiers get their release, so they will turn a blind eye.
