Unbelievable. I have never seen Charlie engage in such an impassioned, impatient, and bullying interview of any of his subjects. Perhaps because I am not of the Vietnam generation, but regardless, to badger Mr. McNamara in this way was a sad sight. I do hear the desperation for Mr. McNamara to share his wisdom and Charlie's duty as a journalist to press that point. However, the manner in which he chose to do it was disappointing to say the least.
