Yeah, sIx, exactly what Iz tryin' to say... Bob McNamara knew all about nummers... He knew that the American people would certainly support an endless war, even if it were unwinnable as long a at the end of the day thier(the Viet Cong and North BVietnamese) dead surpassed those of out troops... (Heck with the S. Vietnamese... They didn't really ever count in the poloitcis... Yeah, Bobert, go tell some kid whoe's dad 'er mom was fightyin' with the South Vietnamese!!!)

Ain't gonna get into them nummers other than to say that trhey represent added-on failures by Johnson/Nixon folks...

The war was wrong... It was unwinnable by anyone other than the Vietnamese people... The US lost... No, they wouldn't have won if thwey nuked Vietnam, so don't even go there....

The US ain't learned much about being a super power...

Taskes more to being a super power than a big stick...

Big stick like a cap-'n-ball Colt:

but it won't get ya' out"
