The eleventh admonition in "The Fog of War" is "You cannot change human nature", as Errol Morris said: "It tells you that all other admonitions are worthless, that the human condition is indeed Hopeless.” Because to Errol Morris, all kinds of people are parochial, self-deceiving, self-serving, like “a bunch of gorillas running...

What is war?
What is war?
No one can give a definite answer.
Through The Fog of War, we may get a glimpse of Robert McNamara's understanding of war from the thirteen lessons he gave. War is complex, changeable and cruel, as he himself said:
There'sa wonder phrase: the for of war, it means that war is so complex...

eleven lessons
Just finished watching the documentary "the fog of war" that knocked down Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911.
In fact, it is a set of interview films, and the object is Melanama. He served in the U.S. Air Force during World War II and participated in the bombing of Japan; served as Secretary of Defense...

Robert McNamara: I'm not so naive or simplistic to believe we can eliminate war. We're not going to change human nature any time soon. It isn't that we aren't rational. We are rational. But reason has limits. There's a quote from T.S. Eliot that I just love: "We shall not cease from exploring, and at the end of our exploration, we will return to where we started, and know the place for the first time." Now that's in a sense where I'm beginning to be.

Robert McNamara: [Regarding his Medal of Freedom acceptance speech] Had I responded, I would have said, "I know what many of you are thinking. You are thinking this man is duplicitous, you are thinking that he has held things close to his chest, you are thinking that he did not respond fully to the desires and wishes of the American people. And I want to tell you you're wrong. Of course he had personal idiosyncrasies, no question about it. He didn't accept all the advice he was given. On several occasions his associates advised him to be more forthcoming. He wasn't. People didn't understand at that time there were recommendations and pressures that would carry the risk of war with China. And carry the risk of nuclear war. And he was determined to prevent it. I am arguing that he had a reason, in his mind, for doing what he did."
