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.

I'll try to get an appointment with him to take a picture for the Foundation. I'm willing to do some amount of interviewing with him. I've just started my research on him [ 1/2 through Limit to Power]. If you have a question not covered by available material on him, drop a line here. I plan to ask about the Croatian connection.

Fixed 4.^"Honor the Fallen Army 1st Lt. Andrew J. Bacevich" link. The following link no longer works and I can't fix it cause I can't find the press-release-article on the net anymore: 5.^ a b "Soldier from Fort Hood killed in Iraq". Thanatos|talk 03:17, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Ancestry

His name, how it's spelled, and his religion seem to indicate that he's a Croatian American, but I'm not willing to write anything till I have confirmation.

This is primarily for categorization purposes; it's not terribly important, but we like to have all our categories filled properly. Lockesdonkey (talk) 16:15, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Bacevic (Bacevich) came from Montenegro, on the border with Herzegovina. Marko Perovic —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.1.9.217 (talk) 23:08, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Bacevic or Bacevich familyname originates from southern Croatia, the coastal area's of the Adriatic, province of Dalmatia boundering with Montenegro. This + the fact that he's Catholic is a proof of the Croatian origins of his familyname. The argument as if the familyname is coming from Montenegro is also possible because the area arround Boka and Tivat in Montenegro had historically a high percentage of Croatians (Catholics) in difference with the Montenegrens or serbs who are eastern-christians or orthodox as they call that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.20.106.201 (talk) 02:08, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
