efficient for two people, and fulfilled its mission design more than
satisfactorily.


Didn't McNamara at least admit many of his sins?


He pretty much confessed to all of 'em. There is a small number of
people whose masturbatory fantasies he cancelled because they made no
sense in the real world, and they still hold it against him.
