Robert McNamara - Dead at age 93

If you have the chance, you should definitely watch "Fog of War." Very interesting film, if for no other reason than to listen to McNamara talk about his government/military career.

I definitely plan on checking that out. I would also recommend his book "In Retrospect"...not only is it interesting for people who like history, but it's interesting to read about such a powerful man trying to come to terms with all of his mistakes.

I should put "Fog of War" on my Netflix queue; I imagine, however, that there's a "Very Long Wait" for it right now.

I had the privilege of hearing McNamara speak to my Vietnam History class back in college. He limited what he was going to talk about. Granted, this was fall of 2000, so not so recently.

I second the Fog of War recommendation. It's one of my favorites.

One of the biggest parts of growing up is realizing that nothing or no one is ever completely good or evil, no situation is completely black and white...there are many many shades of gray. This film hits that home like few other.
