The worst technocratic liberal of all time. Had not concept of the conduct of war and the exercise of military power. Saw the result int he thousands killed in Vietnam.

The war itself was a noble cause; but, it was directed by incompetence, such as McNamara and LBJ/Kennedy.

From the Bay of Pigs and on through the 1960s, the military policy developed by McNamara and his minions nearly saw the destruction of US interests in the 1970s.

I've been watching the "Perfesser" in his own words on YouTube. His whole concept of proportionality in warfare proves his incompetence. There is no proportionality. War is horrible and complete. Holding back because of squeamishness is cowardice and gets good men killed.

Corner the bastards, cut them off, and kill them with overwhelming force. Or don't go to war.

Do we want to win? Or do we care what other people think?
