From that archive, President Kennedy did not want to send troops to Vietnam. Quite possibly. Misses the point though imho. I actually admire McNamara in his candid admissions. It isn't often you see a guy present the rights and wrongs of what they did and why. I see a USA patriot, unforgiven by many for several reasons, put across his view as best he as able to the American people. Reviewing why and how things go wrong is a most important activity. I believe his story should be considered by all before any attack on Iraq or any other large military gamble. Once the vast majority of minds has been set... then is the time to act.
