Oh, don't get me started on McNamara. Imagine running a war that you not only have no plan or intention to win, but don't even have a plan to fight! When he was finally replaced during the Vietnam War, his successor was astonished to find that there was no plan to fight the war, no strategy more than a day by day "hey, let's try this", and more importantly, no exit strategy. We were fighting a war without the slightest idea on what we would do next. We sacrificed fifty-eight thousand Americans and a whole lot of Australian Diggers for a bunch of politicians that were criminally unfit to lead this country during wartime. McNamara's errors and stupid decisions that include the TFX scandal are something I would hope we learn from, but then again Clinton got elected. Twice.
