    Before watching it, I only thought that he was a cold digital elite, but when I watched the movie, I only saw an old man who was constantly self-reflecting. The matter of war is as complicated as the human...

    This is life at war, and even the soundtrack is written by the same person. McNamara had enough chicken thieves, first pushed the blame of the Vietnam War to LBJ and finally praised him again. Morris was pushing hard, but McNamara was too polite to offend...

    Digging through the fog, silently looking for my way. .

    Disadvantages: He is quite partial to McNamara, and he is the only one in the film to state his views, and occasionally add questions from the questioner. From his point of view alone, it is somewhat objective.

The Fog of War quotes

  • Robert McNamara: What makes us omniscient? Have we a record of omniscience? We are the strongest nation in the world today. I do not believe we should ever apply that economic, political, or military power unilaterally. If we had followed that rule in Vietnam, we wouldn't have been there! None of our allies supported us; not Japan, not Germany, not Britain or France. If we can't persuade nations with comparable values of the merit of our cause, we'd better reexamine our reasoning.

  • Robert McNamara: It's almost impossible for our people today to put themselves back into that period

    [the Cold War]

    Robert McNamara: . In my seven years as Secretary, we came within a hair's breadth of war with the Soviet Union on three different occasions! Twenty-four hours a day, three-hundred sixty-five days a year, for seven years as Secretary of Defense, I lived the Cold War! During the Kennedy Administration, they designed a one-hundred Megaton bomb! It was tested in the atmosphere; I remember this.
