There were many responsible for that misguided war in Vietnam, but the Presidents Lydon B. Johnson and Richard 'tricky dickie'Nixon must take full responsibility for perpetuating it.  However, it is John F. Kennedy himself who allowed the initial USA involvement to 'drift' into a major conflict, but in fairness there is a suggestion, based on some inconclusive evidence, especially NSAM 263, that JFK was about to pull American "advisors" out of Nam "by the end of 1963", but his assisination precluded this.  LBJ then escalated the American involvement by placing thousands of ground troops in to actively participate in the war.

Robert McNamara was just one of the actors in this totally misguided conflict.

Actually , he and the following others were only "pawns".. 

Question is : who was/were behind the scenes that make him "fly" to important chairs.. :-/

And a very similiar scenario/meal heated and repeated  after 30 years..
