People thought MacNamara was nuts to turn the trim little 'bird into a bloated, ugly 4-seater but they overestimated the taste of the American public and the Squarebird was a sales success.
Got Bobby Mac a spot in JFK's cabinet and the rest is sorry history.
X-tons of bombs doesn't not = surrender. Kennedy and LBJ should have looked at the Edsel, not the Thunderbird.
But bean, really...you probably should have chosen a better subject line for your post. It wasn't scientists who over-reacted to a bullshit story, it was elected leaders, who are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Call it wrong, people die, you get blamed. If it all turns out to be crap, you still get blamed.
MacNamara, by the way, wasn't a scientist either. He was an MBA/management type who didn't want to be questioned, which is a characteristic of MBA/management types.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
