Robert McNamara dies, was
former Defense Secretary
Robert S. McNamara, the cerebral secretary of defense who was vilified for his role in escalating the Vietnam War, a role he later deeply regretted, died Monday. He was 93. McNamara died at 5:30 a.m. at his home[.]
[...]
McNamara was fundamentally associated with the Vietnam War, "McNamara's war," the country's most disastrous foreign venture, the only American war to end in abject withdrawal rather than victory. Known as a policymaker with a fixation for statistical analysis, McNamara was recruited to run the Pentagon by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 from the presidency of the Ford Motor Co. -- where he and a group of colleagues had been known as the "whiz kids." He stayed in the defense post for seven years, longer than anyone since the job's creation in 1947.

Critics mocked McNamara mercilessly; they made much of the fact that his middle name was "Strange."
[...]
"We of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations acted according to what we thought were the principles and traditions of our country. But we were wrong. We were terribly wrong," McNamara, then 78, told The Associated Press[.]

Using the irrational Liberal Association Standard, we can only conclude via the above photo that McNamara and JFK were Warmongers, and...they were Liberals.
