mcnamara's, assistant said mcnamara told him that kennedy gave him orders to wind down the war. john did, another mcnamara -- assistant, said the same thing. and i have already told you about monday. unfortunately, he passed away before the book was finished -- bundy. unfortunately, he passed away before the book was finished. what happens after kennedy's assassination? this is what happens. johnson is the new sheriff in town, and he makes it very clear that -- to mcnamara that he does not like what he was doing. off, and that is the key statement at the bottom. if you read that, you cannot count on a war you are losing in. to kennedy, south vietnam was part of national security interest in the united states. with johnson, it was. it was a part of it. we cannot lose to the commies, no matter where it is. mcnamara should have quit right after that, because two weeks later, this is really amazing, johnson wants him to write a memorandum saying that you did not really mean those things you said back in october 1963, even though it is all right there in black and white. he wants him

these are two letters that jackie kennedy wrote to margaret mcnamara, the wife of robert mcnamara, who was kennedy's defense secretary. this is a very personal note. jackie had decided to move, she and the children to new york , city. mrs. mcnamara wrote her a note. this is the hand written reply. she says she must attempt to start a new life. i don't have great hope for it, but i know it will be better for the children. that's really a heart rendering line. becameater, jfk junior the publisher of "george" magazine. he became a public figure himself. in 1988 at the age of around 28, he introduced his uncle teddy at the democratic convention in miami. -- democratic convention in atlanta. he begins by saying thank you, mr. speaker. this is a great honor. ton i was first asked he introduce senator kennedy, i felt really proud. then i realized that all of my cousins were returning teddy's phone calls because they were all out campaigning for themselves. he introduced his uncle. given the tragic end of his life about a decade later, it's a heart rendering item to look at. what we discovered

mcnamara enlisted in 1942.e was wounded by nazi artillery fire in italy and 43 was a nazi prisoner of war for 472 days. his daughter catherine says last time anyone recur see in the purple heart was in 1962. >> the kids were getting antsy so she took him a dad stuff, the metals and i think there's some hats and stuff and she got them dressed up in but the metals on them and said quote play soldier. i think that was the last time i ever saw the metal. >> the bronze star medal and infantry man batch were also lost. both were reissued to the family today. they are incredibly thankful. >> i also served in vietnam. when you come home, you put your metals away and he try to forget about that stuff and just go on with your life, which is what he did. >> my dad was a very quiet, humble man. having these metals given back to us is great. >> is the greatest generation, they are. >> mike: mr. mcnamara died in 1975 of colon cancer. we think the family for their service. >> in this way they can pass on the legend of his her

>> looking at mcnamara now, i feel that he should have said publicly what he thought.o much was at stake. he was one of the architects of the war. he was not just some functionary in the bureaucracy who decided the war was unwinnable. this is one of the people who got us into the war in vietnam and was one of the most notable authorities on the subject. for him to be telling the president that he did not think we could win the war, at the same time telling the public, yes, we are winning and can keep going, lives are at stake. i think he should have gone public with his reservations. instead, frankly, i think he took a job at the world bank. he preserved his status and reputation among the power elite that he had served. he furthered his career at the cost of another -- as it turned out, six or seven years of conflict. i think president johnson believed his generals. i think william westmoreland deserves to be remembered, much of the way we remembered george and the civil war being famous for putting together a beautiful army that did not want to actually fight it. it

after listening to the recommendations of secretary mcnamara, the joint chiefs of staff, and generalestmoreland, president johnson authorized an increase of 45,000 men sent to vietnam, bringing the total u.s. troops there to 525,000. in august of 1967, contemporary american life entered a new phase of crisis, a crisis of national purpose that linked the problems of city streets to the war in vietnam and the state of the economy. the presidents position was clear, there were times in nations like when it's armies had to be equipped and fielded and the nations business still have to go on. this was such a time. it was a time of change. every day old institutions, values, and believes were crumbling. swift and transforming change another only become an accepted experience of modern life, but also the source of an american dilemma. we had become the first generation to know with certainty that life would be different for our children and even for ourselves in just a few years time. >> we have been on the road meeting winners of this year's student camera video documentary program. handed

hours shooting at rain clouds in the gulf of tonkin following that confrontation defense secretary mcnamara and vice president johnson to retaliate and the president agreed in the two thousand and three documentary the fog of war former secretary of defense mcnamara admitted that the august fourth gulf of tonkin attack never happened. so our justification for getting involved in vietnam was two incidents which were actually only one incident which was actually our fault. over the next several years fifty eight thousand u.s. service members and as many as three point eight million vietnamese would die in the fighting but those rainclouds knew to step the back right of ghana's stand almost all the nine eleven hacker hijackers were from saudi arabia and osama bin laden was alternately found in pakistan but i. doubt if there is a god of so ask yourself how much cable news reporting you've heard of the fact that truck bombs serial for a completely false reasons are media has a seemingly limitless amount of time and energy to get the story wrong but just can't seem to find the room to schedule in

and the rationale produced by robert mcnamara is pressure on hanoi to give up. we are going to be so tough that we are going to convince the communist that they can never win in the long run. they ought to give up now. so we get into '66 and where are we in '66? well we have bombing going on. we have 173,000 american troops going in the country. johnson has something like 200,000 american troops committed to land warfare in vietnam and a bombing campaign going. and at this point, an anti war movement is being formed. this point, and it was mentioned to you before, i suggest to you is the beginning of the division in polarization and the kind of politics that we are now experiencing 50 years later. so the anti war movement begins to take shape in '65. the way it begins to take shape is if you ask me, it starts with intellectuals. it starts with campuses. it starts with religious leaders. not out there among the people. and it begins, and the modern postmodernist notion of how we think and how we live is absolutely relevant to what happened here. a counter narrati

following their initial conference in the situation room, he asked secretary russ and secretary mcnamaraf both senate and house leaders. the president returned to the oval office to monitor the initial exchange of statements on the floor of the united nations security council. the council was called into urgent session upon the outbreak of hostilities. it was through this forum that the united states would now concentrate all of its energies to bring about an immediate ceasefire. as the day developed, the major obstacle to agreement on a ceasefire lay in the question of troop withdrawal. under the leadership of the security council president hans tabor, a draft resolution agreeable to competing interests would be drawn up on the following day. as in the agreement to contain and limit the conflict, the key to the unconditional ceasefire lay in the joint and parallel action of the united states and the soviet union. the news flashes clarified the situation. it soon became apparent that the middle east power patterns of a decade were being changed in a matter of hours. military analysts cal

robert mcnamara commissioned them to look for the reasons why we got into this war. he got this answer back. 70% of the reason was to simply avoid defeat. it's not to help a friend. that was not on the list. 10% was to help south vietnamese determination, to help that government survive. 20% was to keep south vietnam out of the hands of china. tot that statement shows is me that the reasons for continuing the war were simply to continue the war. why was it necessary to simply continue this? say -- skipping ahead a little bit -- but i would say that there is a fear that if any element of the national security state were to pull back from a war or a confrontation or even pull faces that that that is a sign of what they call provocative weakness. that is a statement you can find in national secure the speeches and documents. i have a quote of donald rumsfeld saying this at his retirement speech. with john f. kennedy, that is essentially what he was doing. he was pulling back from confrontation with the soviet union in the last year of his life. his famous piece speech a
