“We have since learned that our target list was shared through Switzerland with the enemy to ensure no civilians were harmed. Well, that’s no way to win a war. The enemy would move out and set up somewhere else, ready to hit us on our way in and out. And, sometimes… Chiefs of Staff would send us in 5 days in a row.”
"The philosophy of the war, as dictated by McNamara and the Whiz Kids… flew in the face of everything we had been taught about air power and how to use our military might. We just squandered it. We lost 58,000 soldiers and 2,000 airplanes. We could have ended that thing in six months.”
Shameful stuff. So wrong.
