In fact, the eleven sub-headings are useless, it is better to segment them by events. And the first half of the timeline was a little too jumpy. The content is a big dump, anyway, both presidents are...

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.
Objectivity: The director should have spent a lot of thought and listened to a lot... -
