Thank you Johnson and McNamara indeed. When that Edsel promoting sob McNamara finally admitted that he and Johnson were not in it to win it but only as a holding operation that put me in a permanent rage about those two Remember “proportionate response”? Damn them both to Hell
The liberals always like to pass responsibility for the war totally onto Nixon; I was no great fan of his but there were 525,000 US troops in country when RMN took office. McNamara used to run around Georgetown cocktail parties bashing the war he started and strategized; a man wholly without character or decency, a hollow or straw man in the worst sense of the word. When McNamara wrote his trashy book about Vietnam, his highest praise was for the protesters and he wouldn’t take questions from veterans in the audience; Thank God David Halberstam followed him all over the country to dispel his lies at press conferences. McNamara finally withdrew from his book “tour” after Halberstam pinned him on his lies several times.
