[edit] Bacevich himself claims inaccuracies

I don't know what's inaccurate about this article, but Bacevich himself has complained of inaccuracies in the article. He said this during a lecture to one of his classes at BU in November 2006. He did not specify what the inaccuracies were, but implied that they were fact-based and not merely opinion he disagrees with. I would be happy to fix it myself, but I don't have the time. 24.218.220.28 07:52, 30 November 2006 (UTC)Chris Love

I can back up this claim. I was in the class at the time. // Montag 00:26, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Scratch that. He repeated this complaint in March 2007. // Montag 15:05, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I did a quick scan of the facts in the article and the external sources. The only thing I found that was off was a PhD in American Diplomatic History from Princeton (according to the BU site) that was stated simply as "diplomatic history" in the article. The rest can be verified from Conversations with Andrew Bacevich. // Montag 00:53, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

He has 3 daughters, not 1.
