I also wanted to put this video up for anyone who has time or is even remotely interested (which nearly no one will be). The movie is called Fog of War and is about former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. He was the Secretary of Defense for JFK and Johnson, and it is interesting to hear is take on the 1960s, specifically the Cuban Missile Crisis and Vietnam. I think the 11 lessons are really good, and they are based out of McNamara's book "Wilson's Ghost: Reducing the Risk of Conflict, Killing, and Catastrophe in the 21st Century". Anyway, if you find yourself with an hour and 47 minutes, watch this movie. It's worth it.
