Dirty Dan, I could find nothing about lou diamound phillips ever being in the military! He was born a navy brat though. Also he plays indians but is of Philippine blood. I dont mean to say this trying to down grade phillips as I like him as a actor and I havent been in the military either. If I am wrong someone please show a source. I do find it odd he was chosen to do interviews on the military channel. (If he indeed wasnt military). I like him.
