I had the exact same thought when I saw the header too!

But Robert McNamera has already come out and admitted his treachery in his book. Despite that, he still hasn't been put on trial.

I had fleeting hopes they found some smoking gun. Alas...

Had an email exchange with Joe Galloway (co-author of "We Were Soldiers" -- OUTSTANDING movie) in which we BOTH expressed our sentiments about these bastards, to wit:

*******

Mine to Joe G:
McNamara popped up on the book tour circuit a while back promoting his mea culpa on Viet Nam. Through clenched teeth, I watched him weep during one TV interview as he declared that he KNEW the entire exercise was wrong as it unfolded -- but did NOTHING to try to stop it.

They are excavating a new, lower level of Hell for McNamara as you read this. It is just above LBJ's.

With a silent prayer for ALL those who fight and die for this country, I extend warmest personal regards to you and General Moore. May you both enjoy the remainder of what I pray will be long and peaceful lives.

Unlike most of us, you have earned them.

Nope. They are putting McNamara right in the same level with LBJ, and boy is LBJ pissed at him for all this whining around he's been doing. He can bend his ear for all eternity, while they fan each other......

Thanks for your kind words about the book and the movie. I will share them with Gen Moore.
Joe

To which I can only add "Amen!"
