A fitting send-off to Strange Bob

Joe Galloway, author of We Were Soldiers Once And Young, delivers a scathing farewell to Robert McNamara on McClatchy's website (and presumably in at least some of their papers):

Well, the aptly named Robert Strange McNamara has finally shuffled off to join LBJ and Dick Nixon in the 7th level of Hell.

McNamara was the original bean-counter — a man who knew the cost of everything but the worth of nothing.

The whole commentary is worth reading here. As Voltaire said, “To the living we owe respect; to the dead only the truth.”
