Seems like lately all of the big international events have taken place in the summer.

Tonkin Gulf
6 Day War
Tienneman Square
Iraq invades Kuwait
Russia has a coup

Seems like more things happen in the summer than during other seasons.

You want to fight a war in the winter? Getting shot at sucks, getting shot at in 3 feet of snow sucks balls. JMHO, YMMV, APSTC.

And most diplomats & world leaders vacation during the summer so no one is at the switch to stifle imminent threats.

Try this:

1976-On her fourth Mediterranean deployment, IWO JIMA participated in the evacuation of civilians from Beirut, Lebanon.

1983-BLT 1/8 was with 24MAU in Beirut, Lebanon.
