As well‚ he describes the sound of the fog horn as "a big lonely animal crying in the night". Later McDunn explains to Johnny how once

Ryan McManus Vietnam Film 2/29/12 The Fog of War In the opening scenes of the documentary‚ The Fog of War‚ Robert McNamara states‚ “Any military commander who is honest admits that he has made mistakes‚ errors of judgment.” Throughout the documentary‚ I got the sense that McNamara is asking for forgiveness from the American public and is telling them that he wishes things went differently. There are many times throughout the film that McNamara is a sympathetic figure‚ but they are mainly towards
