Mam:
I am from upstate New York originally and I coulds say the same thing about it as well. This is odd - so am I! Soccer hall of fame ring a bell?

Interesting, but...
quote: Problem: It was Marines in Lebanon, Army in Grenada and panama, and not the same units.quote: Libya was an Air Force thing, and only a handful of F-111s were involved.quote: O'Really was on TV during Haiti, and 'advisors' don't count (unless you are a conservative trying to pump up your patriotism scale).quote: In the end, it is possible that he took part in 4 military exercises - providing he was in the Marines, the Army, and the Air Force. That or, far more likely, he is just a lying right-winger trying to make himself appear more 'rugged'...

Would that deli be Zimmerman's in Ann Arbor by any chance?! My parents live in Plymouth, MI and I went to U of M from 1980 to 1985.

O'Really has been in journalism for "30 years", according to himself on a C-Span book review clip I just watched.
So, I think it is obvious that O'Really just plain lied.

Heh. I didn't say he didn't lie - I just said it was possible. Hell, if you include GWI on the list, I was directly involved in three myownself (Lebanon, Liberia, and GWI), and indirectly in a fourth (Libya - which was not just Air Force; Navy planes off of two carriers (I can't remember which ones) kept the Libyan Air Force at home by splashing at least two that came out to sniff around, and F/A-18s made it necessary for Qadhafi to buy a special-purpose glass bottomed boat from France so he could review his navy. )
As to not the same units - never said they were. That was a list of conflicts. Marines played a significantly important role in Granada as well. Whatdyamean advisors don't count? Vietnam was an advisory mission at first, after all. Besides, I was making a list of all the little things our tax dollars paid for during the specified time: didn't mean that O'Reilly had anything to do with any of them. Like I said, I don't know anything about him. Is he like Ollie North (who has a radio show - or did - in Virginia)? Maybe he's just really old. Ya know, "There we were, on the banks of Antietam Creek..."

Q - I didn't say you said XY or Z. I just commented on your scenarios.
Sheesh... No need to attack each other just because there are no worthy opponants around...

I did not meet Hezy until I started working at the AMNH..he gave me some samples..and he was curating the L.cyclotis collection in my department..apparently before I got there he used to come to the museum with his pet hyrax.

He and I were discussing writing a grant together at one point, but it sort of fell through - he ended up getting a fellowship of some sort to go to Eritrea.
He is a good guy.
