Brent Sadler, a twenty-six year veteran of the Navy and one of the key players at Pacific Command discusses the shocking assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Sadler, a senior research fellow at the Naval Warfare and Advanced Technology Center for National Defense at Heritage Foundation discusses the legacy that Prime Minister Abe leaves behind becoming more apparent now, as he had warned of the very real “threat” that China poises "to the Pacific.” Saying, Prime Minister Abe "had been working to try to change the way that the Japanese Constitution was being interpreted, as It's overly pacifist,” he had been instrumental "in trying to get Japan to be more of a player and a more realistic partner in the security, and no one did more to advance that than him.”
