Bad assumption there. I was 14 years old in 1968, when McNamara left the DOD for the World Bank and the USA had roughly 550,000 soldiers in Vietnam. I remember him rather well, especially since I was draftable before that futile, criminal war ended. His trangressions could have cost me my life. Not easy to forgive, when the purpose of the war was so utterly feckless and ill-conceived.
