He saw the light earlier than any other US politician involved in Vietnam, I believe.

quote Wiki:
"In early November 1967, McNamara's recommendation to freeze troop levels, stop bombing North Vietnam and for the US to hand over ground fighting to South Vietnam was rejected outright by President Lyndon B. Johnson. McNamara's recommendations amounted to his saying that the strategy of the United States in Vietnam which had been pursued to date had failed."

Couldn't have happened to a nicer war criminal.
Living to a ripe old age of 93 and never be under any sort of threat to ever face charges? Yeah, I agree. If any war criminal is going to have that, I'd rather it'd be Robert McNamara than a truly not nice war criminal.
