pacific war or asia-pacific war is generally used in japan by both right and left. i think it's a value-neutral, very sort of uncontestable term because, of course, war happened in that theater. i think extreme righters still prefer to call it greater east asian war because they claim that japan liberated all the colonial parts of southeast asia and china as well. i don't know how they extend the argument that way. [laughter] nor why. leftists, on the extreme left i think some people prefer to call it 15 years' war because they see the beginning of the war as 1931 when japan, japanese field army invaded parts of northeast asia. northeast china, excuse me. so i think there's a lot in the name, but i think many more just prefer to call it the value-free, neutral way of asia-pacific war. the second question, i think, had to do with article ix of the constitution which the president abe administration is trying to revise or do away altogether because he, as a sort of hawk, thinks that it's a humiliation that japan didn't have the right to write its own constitution at t

the war in the pacific -- particularly the war in the southwest pacific was unusual. it was unlike just about any conflict the united states had ever fought in before. for two main reasons. the first was the geography of the area, the vast space of it. particularly the island of new guinea, not only the second largest island in the world. it's also one of the least developed. so there just isn't the infrastructure like in europe you can count on ports and roads and things like it and accessible terrain to operate it. new guinea, whatever you want to -- or whatever you need to fight, you're probably going have to take with you. because the land just doesn't provide it. and so, that creates an engineering and a supply problem that is unlike just about anything that we've seen before. so that's the first part. the second part is for general mcarthur to get where he needs to go, in other words from eastern new guinea, australia, back to the philippines, he needs help. can't just be the army. it has to be the army, the navy, and the air corps, now the air force working tog
