I think I'll do a search on Robert McNamara. My husband stated he couldn't understand how a man could come out and support a war just because he worked for a President at the time and then come out later and write a book against it later.
You could tell in that deleted scene that Westmoreland and McNamara weren't even listing to what he was telling them... Worse yet, they didn't even care ...

...In the real MOORE/MacNAMRA After-Action Scene back at Gen. HARRY W.O. KINNARD's 1st Cavalry Division Headquarters after our Victory at IA DRANG-1965...
...HAL gave a 15 minute report to MacNAMARA who merely shoke his hand afterward, said "Thanks" and promptly wrote up a Report on the plane back home itemizing why we could NEVER win the Vietnam War.
...Until his resignation years later Secretary of Defense ROBERT S. MacNAMARA personally got to OK every Airstrike Target LBJ hit in Communist North Vietnam.
...With "Friends" like this ..no wonder LBJ became a one term President...?
