A rather flip dismissal of McNamara, coming from someone born three years after the last U.S. chopper left Saigon. While the criticism of McNamara as technocrat are certainly not new with you, he merits more credence than the ideological carpetbagger Horowitz.

BTW and FWIW, it's defeatist and sabotage.
