| A war criminal remembers ... |
The old boy is a war criminal, remember that! The fog was in his head, when he helped to lie the USA into attacking a country that posed no threat to the USA or anyone else. (Sound familiar?) |

| Must see..... |
Gotta watch McNamara discuss his role in the quagmire we called the Vietnam War. There is a message in this film and it isn't in the interview itself.
Excellent for thinking people. |

| Excellent teaching tool |
My husband watched this movie during one of his Administration in Education classes, he decided to buy it and use it at the high school. He was very impressed with the "lessons" in the movie, it is worth the watch. |

Found this an informative movie from Robert S. MacNamara's perspective.It is good to hear what people whose decisions affect many have to say. The lessons the former Sec. of Def. presents reflect his ability to draw lessons from history. And to share them.
Though Mr. MacNamara served in the military earlier in his life his tenure as Secretary of Defense does not appear to reflect an adequate understanding of war or of strategy.
This movie shows that what he may have once thought was a straight forward and apparently clear path to victory in SE Asia, turned out to be an extremely difficult, messy and costly affair. Management in the automobile industry is I think quite different to managing a war, due to the very nature of war.
At the end of the movie I was left wondering if Mr. MacNamara having shared his lessons with us was himself out of the fog. With the less than favourable situation we presently find ourselves in in the world today, perhaps we are all still wandering about in the fog.The title of this movie is therefore quite fitting for both the MacNamara years and today as well. |
