A scene from The Fog of War 2003
Morris

When you talk about the responsibility for something like the Vietnam War, whose responsibility is it?

McNamara

It's the president's responsibility. I don't want to fail to recognize the tremendous contribution I think Johnson made to the country. I don't want to put the responsibility for Vietnam on his shoulders alone, but I do -- I am inclined to believe that if Kennedy had lived, he would have made a difference. I don't think we would have had 500,000 men there.
