the air force for years has relied on bases in japan and guam. and as you've said yourself, the chinese make a lot of missiles relatively cheaply that are relatively effective, and that means our bases are at risk of chinese missiles. so you're looking to spread out across the pacific. how is that going? >> what i found initially was the air force, we had a lot of good ideas and we did a lot of talk, not much action. there's a lot of action now. it is two parts. it's the physical aspect of being able to move, but it's the mindset of our airmen. >> but it is not just mindset. japan is resisting more forces on japan, philippines, where the bases would be the closest to the mainland of china, there's political resistance to that as well. how do you overcome the political resistance? >> part of this is a long-term relationship we have with our allies and partners. like any relationship there are ups and downs. the key part is we have common interests with our allies. if tension starts to rise, we will be able to counter. >> in afghanistan, if the tal
