  • His fake attack on a US ship in the Bay of Tonkin was the reason we went to war. It was entirely his call.

  • And who was McNamara's best friend:

    Rumsfeld!

  • people in vietnam should be dancing in the streets for this. i dont know why they didnt though...

  • i hope he suffered everyday I hope he woke up in middle of the night in cold sweat I hope he suffers now for everything he put those soldiers through

  • Good riddance.

  • It's hard to defend his early decisions. My uncle I never met died in Vietnam in 67. Possibly that's why he tried to atone all those later years. LBJ, Nixon, Laird, Richardson never showed even the slightest of remorse that McNamara did. Doesn't bring back my uncle or the other 60,000 though.

  • Can dump the body in the Bay of Tonkin?

  • The only one involved to admit we were wrong and lost the war.

    A little too late though for thousands
