Chomsky wrote a paper in 1967 titled The Responsibility of the Intellectual where he explicitly called out this cohort for the crimes being perpetrated on the Vietnamese people. A crime McNamara later begrudgingly admitted to when close to his death, in penance, I'm sure for his complicity in it. Anyway, for those of you out there that can rightfully call yourself an American intellectual, the few that you are apparently, Chomsky's paper was written especially for you and is as prescient today as ever. All you have to do is swap out Vietnam for take your pick.....Palestine, Ukraine and in the near future, Taiwan. It's well worth the small effort to better understand the importance of the role in American society. https://chomsky.info/19670223/
