  • ye guys are idiots if you bothered to read his books or watch his films you would see he admits he should have been tried as a war criminal and he didnt go into public service for himself because he personally took a wage cut by doing so also it was he who realising vietnam was a mistake made moves to try and get the men out of there! He doesn't claim to be perfect.are you? .He did his job according to what his president asked him to do unfortunatly he left discussions of morailty to them also

  • it took me 7 minutes to understand the intellectual difference between these 2 men.

  • This man's intelligence is frightening.

  • He learned his ethics at Berkeley and then directed the terror bombing of Japan in WW II, then directed even greater atrocities in the Vietnam War? He is a very brilliant man who finally learned some ethics after that confrontation with Harvard students during the Vietnam War. " In Retrospect" is the courageous story of his regrets and awakening, but it admits that Berkeley and Harvard failed to teach him about character development and ethics. There is a lot of blood on his hands.

  • would have been a great great president

  • I've lived a good life: fuck you.

  • @Ccbooya18 Who is we? You mean a bunch of fucking idiots almost blew the rest of us up. There aint no "we" involved in that.

  • Sweet farting around 43:17

  • @Weeman2atskool Look. Sometimes to do good is to do alot of bad things. Nothing is black or white. M not a vietnamese but my country also suffer like vietnam too.

  • This man was one of the most dangerous people who held power in the USA. After all these years he still does not get it. He is a criminal.
