McNamara

Robert MacNamara was the Secretary of Defense during the Vietnam War. MacNamara increased the U.S. occupation during the Vietnam War in 1965 in response to the increase of the Vietcong in South Vietnam. Over time, he became skeptical about whether increasing U.S. troops ion Vietnam would really help win the war.

This could be improved by someone if they link it to practices terms such as "total war, limited war, escalation" etc.
