The Fog of Cop-Out
Robert
McNamara 10, Errol Morris 0
By ALEXANDER
COCKBURN
My
dear friend and late Nation colleague Andrew Kopkind liked to tell how,
skiing in Aspen at the height of the Vietnam War, he came round a bend
and saw another skier, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, alone near
the edge of a precipice. This was during the period of Rolling Thunder,
which ultimately saw three times as many bombs dropped on Vietnam as
the Allies dropped on Europe in the Second World War. “I could
have reached out with my ski pole,” Andy would say wistfully,
“and pushed him over.”
Alas,
Andy shirked this chance to get into the history books and McNamara
survived the 1960s, when he contributed more than most to the slaughter
of 3.4 million Vietnamese (his own estimate). He went on to run the
World Bank, where he presided over the impoverishment, eviction from
their lands and death of many millions more round the world.
And
now here he is, the star of Errol Morris’s much-praised, in my
view wildly over-praised, documentary The Fog of War, talking comfortably
about the millions of people he’s helped to kill. It reminded
me of films of Albert Speer, Hitler’s architect and then head
of war production. Speer loved to admit to an overall guilt. But when
he was pressed on specific nastiness, like working Jews or Russians
to death in arms factories, he would insist, eyes ablaze with forthrightness,
that he knew nothing of such infamies.
It’s
good to have a new generation reminded of history’s broad outlines,
like the firebombing of Japanese cities and Vietnam, but even here McNamara’s
recollection--surprising to many--of his role in advising Curtis LeMay
to order his bombers to fly at lower altitude, the more effectively
to incinerate Japanese cities, goes unexamined.
Did
the young McNamara, admittedly a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force,
really play such a role? I asked my associate, Rohit Goel, to check,
and he contacted Michael Sherry, Professor of History at Northwestern
University, author of The Rise of American Air Power. Here’s what
Sherry e-mailed back:
“I
did extensive research in the late 1970s and 1980s on the American
bombing of Japan, and especially on LeMay’s decision to fly
in at lower altitudes. I do not recall that McNamara’s name
ever popped up in those records, and since McNamara’s was a
famous name by then, I wouldn’t have ignored it. Nor was McNamara
mentioned in the several hours of interviewing I did with LeMay. While
not denigrating his [i.e. McNamara’s]wartime record, I suspect
there is some latter-day expansion of the importance of his wartime
role—that not uncommon tendency of old soldiers to inflate the
past. In this case, there may also be a familiar theme at work that
surfaced, sometimes in ugly conflict, in McNamara’s tenure as
defense secretary—the superiority of civilian expertise over
military wisdom; perhaps McNamara is figuratively writing that theme
back into his story of World War II... In any event,doubt LeMay saw
McNamara as a major figure in his decision-making, and LeMay’s
resort to firebombing was the product of several factors (including
pressure from Washington, and simply the apparent failure of other
efforts to do much), not simply of the technical advice he received.”
The
documentary’s gimmickry-cuts to black, Morris shouting his questions
away from the mike, McNamara off-center in the frame, montage of typewriter-ribbon
wheels, skulls dropping in slow motion down a stairwell, captions offering
very banal “lessons”-gives us a clue.
Morris
didn’t have much to throw at McNamara. He didn’t do enough
homework, and it’s no substitute to say he’s evolved a technique
whereby we can look into McNamara’s eyes. We can look into the
eyes of anyone on remote camera on the Koppel Show. So what?
Time
and again, McNamara gets away with it, cowering in the shadow of baroque
monsters like Curtis LeMay or LBJ, choking up about his choice of Kennedy’s
gravesite in Arlington, sniffling at the memory of Johnson giving him
the Medal of Freedom, spouting nonsense about how Kennedy would have
pulled out of Vietnam, muffling himself in the ever-useful camouflage
of the “fog of war.”
Now,
the “fog of war” is a tag usually attributed to von Clausewitz,
though the great German philosopher and theorist of war never actually
used the phrase. Eugenia Kiesling argued a couple of years ago in Military
Review that the idea of fog-- unreliable information--wasn’t a
central preoccupation of Clausewitz. “Eliminating fog”,
Kiesling wrote, gives us a clearer and more useful understanding of
Clausewitz’s friction. It restores uncertainty and the intangible
stresses of military command to their rightful centrality in ‘On
War’. It allows us to replace the simplistic message that war
intelligence is important with the reminder that Clausewitz constantly
emphasizes moral forces in war.”
As
presented by McNamara, through Morris, “the fog of war”
usefully deflects attention from clear and unpleasant facts entirely
unobscured by fog. McNamara can talk--I’ll come to the Gulf of
Tonkin incident shortly--about confusions, fog, about what actually
happened on August 2 or 4, 1964, thus detouring unfogged daylight, of
which there was plenty, about the moral failures of US commanders including
McNamara, waging war on the Vietnamese.
Roberta
Wohlstetter was a pioneer in this fogging technique back in the 1950s
with her heavily subsidized Pearl Harbor: Warning and Decision, which
deployed the idea of distracting “noise” as the phenomenon
that prevented US commanders, ultimately Roosevelt, from comprehending
the information that the Japasnese were about to launch a surprise attack.
Wohlstetterian “noise” thus obscured the fact that FDR wanted
a Japanese provocation, knew the attack was coming, though not probable
not its scale and destructiveness.
When
McNamara looks back down memory lane there are no real shadows, just
the sunlight of moral self-satisfaction: “I don’t fault
Truman for dropping the bomb”; “I never saw Kennedy more
shocked” (after the murder of Ngo Dinh Diem); “never would
I have authorized an illegal action” (after the Tonkin Gulf fakery);
“I’m very proud of my accomplishments and I’m very
sorry I made errors” (his life).
Slabs
of instructive history are missing from Morris’s film. McNamara
rode into the Pentagon on one of the biggest of big lies, the bogus
“missile gap” touted by Kennedy in his 1960 campaign against
Nixon. It was all nonsense. As Defense Secretary McNamara ordered the
production of 1,000 Minuteman strategic nukes, this at a time when he
was looking at US intelligence reports showing that the Soviets had
one silo with one untested missile.
To
Morris now he offers homilies about the menace of nuclear Armageddon.
It’s cost-free to say to say such things, grazing peacefully on
the tranquil mountain pastures of his 87 years.
Why
did Morris not try to extort from McNamarta, in those twenty-three hoursd
of interviews, some reflections on how people in their forties, on active
service in the belly of the beast, should behave. Would McNamara encourage
today’s weapons designers in Los Alamos to mutiny, to resign?
Were the atom spies in Los Alamos in the 1940s right to try to level
nuclear terror to some sort of balance? How does McNamara regard the
Berrigans and their comrades who served or are serving decades in prison
for physically attacking nuclear missiles, beating the decks of the
Sea Wolf nuclear submarine with their hammers.
Even
when McNamara’s record shows to his credit, no useful point is
made. Ralph Nader tells me (and wrote it in Unsafe at Any Speed) that
it’s true that when he was head of the Ford Division of the Ford
motor Company in the mid-1950s, McNamara did push for safety options--seat
belts and padded instrument panels. Ford dealer brochures for the ’56
models featured photos of how Ford and GM models fared in actual crashes,
to GM’s disadvantage.
But
Morris could have put to McNamara what happened next. As Nader describes
it, in December, 1955, a top GM executive called Ford’s vice president
for sales and said Ford’s safety campaign had to stop. These Ford
executives, many of them formerly from GM, had a saying, Chevy could
drop its price $25 to bankrupt Chrysler, $50 to bankrupt Ford. Ford
ran up the white flag. The safety sales campaign stopped. McNamara took
a long vacation in Florida, his career in Detroit in the balance, and
came back a team player. Safety went through the windscreen and lay
in a coma for years.
None
of this bloody corporate handiwork shows up in the documentary, which
opts for that showy footage of skulls being dropped down stair wells
as part of safety-impact studies. McNamara invokes the Ford Falcon--you
can still see some of them bumbling around in the South--as his effort
to push small cheap cars, and of course this claim goes unexamined too.
The US car companies put out small cars in the late fifties mostly to
instruct US consumers that small cars weren’t worth buying (except
for the immortal Slant 6 Plymouth Valiant, rolled out in 1960 by Chrysler,
run by engineers), as opposed to the larger vehicles which was what
the companies were interested in making money off. The Japanese and
Germans came in with well-made small cars and, helped by Nader’s
attack on the Corvair (which was actually a pretty good car) captured
that market, just as they wiped out the UK’s poorly managed MG
and Triumph in the Forties.
The
eyes don’t tell the story. McNamara is self-serving and disingenuous.
Reminiscing about his acceptance of Kennedy’s invitation to come
from Ford in Detroit to Camelot, McNamara claims to Morris that he insisted
he would not be part of Georgetown’s pesky social round. Nonsense.
He took to it like a parvenu to ermine, as more than one Washington
hostess could glowingly recall.
“It’s
beyond the capacity of the human mind to comprehend all the variables,”
the systems analyst proclaims to Morris, which would have afforded a
better-informed filmmaker a chance to ask this cold engine of statistical
calculation for his take on the prime business of the Pentagon, the
allocation of pork.
Why
did Defense Secretary McNamara overrule all expert review and procurement
recommendations and insist that General Dynamics rather than Boeing
make the disastrous F-111, at that time one of the largest procurement
contracts uin the Pentagon’s history? Could it be that Henry Crown
of Chicago was calling in some chits for his role in fixing the 1960
JFK vote in Cook County, Illinois? Crown, of Chicago Sand and Gravel,
had $300 million of the mob’s money in GD debentures, and after
the disaster of the Convair, GD needed the F-111 to avoid going belly-up,
taking the mob’s $300 million with it. McNamara misled Congressional
investigators about this for years afterward.
The
Gulf of Tonkin “attack” prompted the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution
in 1964, whereby Congress gave LBJ legal authority to prosecute and
escalate the war in Vietnam. McNamara does some fancy footwork here,
stating that there wasn’t any attack by North Vietnamese PT boats
on the US destroyer Maddox on August 4, but that there had been such
an attack on August 2. It shouldn’t have been beyond Morris’s
powers to pull up a well-reported piece by Robert Scheer, published
in the Los Angeles Times in April, 1985, establishing not only that
the Maddox was attacked neither on August 2 nor 4 but that, beginning
on the night of July 30, South Vietnamese navy personnel, US-trained
and -equipped, “had begun conducting secret raids on targets in
North Vietnam.” As Scheer said, the North Vietnamese PT boats
that approached the Maddox on August 2 were probably responding to that
assault.
The
Six-Day War? Just before this ‘67 war the Israelis were ready
to attack and knew they were going to win but couldn’t get a clear
go-ahead from the Johnson Administration. As the BBC documentary The
50 Years War narrates, Meir Amit, head of Israel’s Mossad, flew
to Washington. The crucial OK came from McNamara, thus launching Israel’s
long-planned, aggressive war on Egypt, Jordan and Syria, which led to
present disasters. And no, Morris didn’t quiz McNamara on Israel’s
deliberate attack on the US ship Liberty during that war (with thirty-four
US sailors dead and 174 wounded), or on the cover-up that McNamara supervised.
We
have so many sponsors of mass murder hanging around, it would be nice
to see one of them, once in a while, take a real pasting. But no, they
live on into happy old age, vivid in their worries about the human condition,
writing in The New York Review of Books, passing on no honest records
about the evil it really takes to run an empire. So suddenly people
are shocked about a relative piker like George W. Bush and start talking
about Hitler. If only they knew. It’s not that hard to find out.
As
displayed by Morris, McNamara never offers any reflection on the social
system that produced and promoted him, a perfectly nice, well-spoken
war criminal. As his inflation of his role in the foe-bombing of Japan
shows, he can go so far as to falsely though complacently indict himself
, while still shirking bigger , more terrifying and certainly more useful
reflections on the system that blessed him and mercilessly killed millions
upon millions under FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, Nixon. I don’t
think Morris laid a glove on McNamara, who should be feeling well pleased.
Like Speer, he got away with it yet again.
