They can now talk freely
Robert McNamara is dead.
"In order to do good, it is necessary to do evil.
But you must minimize it."
-Robert McNamara. Ford Executive and Secretary of Defense under LBJ.
"We burned to death 100,000 Japanese civilians in Tokyo — men, women and children," Mr. McNamara recalled; some 900,000 Japanese civilians died in all. "LeMay said, 'If we'd lost the war, we'd all have been prosecuted as war criminals.' And I think he's right. He — and I'd say I — were behaving as war criminals."
"What makes it immoral if you lose and not immoral if you win?" he asked. He found the question impossible to answer.
