Admiral James Stavridis was 16th supreme allied commander of NATO and 12th dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. He spent the bulk of his operational career in the Pacific, and is author of "2034: A Novel of the Next World War."
During the long years I spent in the U.S. Pacific Fleet, I was often struck by the animosity between two close U.S. allies: Japan and South Korea.
