59 seconds of brilliance. A must for those whom need an answer !! Pure kipling pure McNamara pure life !

Nicely done. Moving.

McNamara passionately believed what he was doing was just, as have so many throughout history.

I hope he ultimately found peace and clarity, if that's the right word. Everyone deserve that in the end, the just and the unjust.

In passing, what was the music? Phillip Glass?

RIP Sir.

If only you had understood that Vietnam was in a civil war as you admitted in an interview in 1995 after you published your book on the war, you would have gone down as one of the greatest defense secretaries in history.
