Didn’t McNamara express regret, before he died, for his whole approach to the VietNam conflict? I think he wrote a book about it iirc.
“Didn’t McNamara express regret, before he died, for his whole approach to the VietNam conflict? I think he wrote a book about it iirc.”
I honestly don’t know if he wrote about it or not. But in the conversation we had he made it a point to agree with me that it was all wrong and it was a tragedy.
The strange thing was we had the conversation before I actually knew who he was. I didn’t know until I ran his Credit Card and saw his name on it. Then I asked him if he was “The Robert McNamara? Vietnam McNamara?” and said that he was indeed. After I shook his hand and they left was when the full scope of the meeting hit me considering his position on it after the fact...
