Vietnam Architect Robert McNamara Dead at 93

McNamara was a war criminal. The things he authorized in Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia were genocide where some 2 million people were callously exterminated. Ask any Grunt that torched villages and machine-gunned peasants. It was murder. McNamara and the Joint Chiefs were all culpable. I still feel sad for my friends that were shot up or killed without meaning. Reply

@ Fondue, sometimes I do not agree with the populace as you may have noticed once or twice, in this case it is NOT your fault that you simply did not know what a true piece of chit this guy is/was as it happened in a time long ago that the true "Powers that Be" do not want remembered to how it was but rather they want it remembered as how they wanted it to be. This guy was a delusional idiot, they come in all forms and flavors and many political parties. He was an uptight wealthy white a$$klown who "designed" a strategy for war that was bing fought for ever fckin wrong reason ever imagined for there being a wrong war.....The country of Vietnam had been at war with itself for 10,000 years. It wasn't Good Guy's Vs Bad Guys, it was a political game played between Russia, China and the United States (as well as England, Australia, Even France as well as a host of other countries. We were just the last in a long line of "advisers"..They sent troops in, tied our hands so we could not win and then began a game that cost a total of around 58169 were killed and 304000 wounded out of 2.59 million who served. This guy has no true friends who actually fought, just the brass who kissed his collective a$$ and politicians who shook his hand and smiled for the camera. We took orders to wipe out entire villages of men women and children forever erasing them from history, we dumped chemicals upon a nation that till this very day are still killing the populace there as well as many of us who served and were exposed as well. We made the war machine churn a profit while the country itself languished just so we could return home and be spit on for following our orders and wearing a uniform that a damn lottery system was used to chunk us in a meat grinder. Not one damn person who served came home the same as they left, we all were wounded deeply but most of us are unable to show the scar for it is in our soul we were wounded. This is why to this very day when I see some rich spoiled a-hole say "We need to go into Iran, Iraq or Central America" and "FREE THOSE PEOPLE" I simply want to walk up to them and puke out the bile and venom I still carry from Vietnam. We do NOT belong in the damn sandbox now where we are at and we did NOT belong in that jungle but again we had no choice as poor lower class Americans, our duty was to die for others profit. It isn't your fault that history books in school do NOT tell the truth about Vietnam nor your fault that like so many of us you were and are partially brainwashed to be Patriotic without question, we are brainwashed from birth that America is always right, news flash America is seldom right when it comes to involving ourselves in the matters of another country without being invited. We watch war movies as a kid starring John Wayne and line up as cannon fodder for the old and the rich so they can site their rich a$$ home and wave a flag for a country they care nothing about except how much it earns them. Fondue, it's cool cause... Reply

If any of you get a chance, rent the documentry FOG OF WAR, featuring him. Very insightful film. Reply

@ Fondue , Bro, I honestly don't know if they would teach the actual facts. History is written by the victor they say but in some cases it is also written by who controls the media and that has been wrapped up tight since Vietnam by all concerned. Only people who made out good in that war were the gun companies and chemical companies such as DuPont. Also a few politicians as usual. I have a theory if you nuked the world the only survivors would be the cockroaches and politicians and I fear for the cockroach's safety if that happens. Reply
