Fonda, "Corrigan", "In Retrospect", more later

This site's other link, for protesters, addresses this Colonel Corrigan story too. It is debunked as false, with sources.

I'm new to this link. I read many responses, for days now, at the protester's link. I wrote some too. I'm wondering if I'm going to find the same neglect at this link as I did at the other: no one seems to have read Robert McNamara's In Retrospect: the tragedy and lessons of Vietnam. This was published in 1995, one year before this site went up. For those of you with no use for morality, McNamara and Lyndon Johnson represented the top of the chain of command of military order. They both quit the war, commander-in-chief Johnson admitting the war had "failed to win the hearts and miinds of the Vietnamese". Always without merit, this was more evidence the US military was running amok. Saying so, taking on the burden of civil disobedience, as Fonda and so many of us did, requires more courage and character than most of you will ever know.

In Retrospect is the most important book of the last 50 years. Like no other book, the public library system of Rhode Island has 50 copies, with the clear intention of thorough distribution. What about where you live?
