Frankly, nothing this arrogant, egotistical incompetent can say or do can ever erase my contempt for him. Too bad he lived so much longer than the thousands who were condemned under his stewardship of the War.
Good riddance.

My dad was an old China hand, having worked as a commercial pilot for CNAC and then as a civilian Hump pilot for the AAF in the CBI. He retired from government service in 1961 and until his death in 1966, counted almost daily our mistakes in this part of the world.
There was no shortage of sound, knowledgeable advice in SE Asia and, unlike the French and Brits, we were not in country to take away treasure. We sure left plenty, though.

IMHO, the war drove him crazy. He was in at least some respects like Stanton, Lincoln’s war minister. Stanton was also unstable. But Johnson was no Lincoln, so there was no one to balance McNamama. Indeed, many of the charges the reviewer makes against McNamara should be laid against Johnson and his other close advisers.
