Robert S. McNamara’s legacy is undoubtedly how he redefined the Secretary of Defense's role in the White House, but I am interested in his thoughts on the war afterward. From my research, I have found that McNamara heavily regretted the Vietnam War as a whole. In his memoir, “In Retrospect”, he writes about how he believed the communist threat was truly not that large of a threat, and he questioned if Soviet and Chinese behavior would have been different if the United States had not ever been involved in the Vietnam War. He also pinpointed eleven different “failures” of the war, like how there was a failure to involve Congress and the American people in a pros-and-cons-Esque discussion of entering Vietnam.
