THE FOG OF WAR

I saw the McNamara documentary this weekend. If you don’t know what I am referring to then please read the synopsis attached below.

The film is an exceptionally well edited masterpiece. It contains old footage as well as haunting audio conversations between McNamara, Johnson, and Kennedy. It offers the viewer remarkable insight into the minds of these three great men and clears up many faulty perceptions.
McNamara, It seems, is not the zealous warmonger we all thought. He is smart, aware of his faults, and, most importantly, merely a loyal servant to Kennedy and Johnson. He did the bidding of the President while attempting to change Johnson’s foreign policy from within. Unfortunately McNamara could not overpower Johnson’s paranoia

See the film. It is brilliant and insightful. This is the stuff that textbooks and liberal professors omit.
