I had no idea that piece of shit was associated with Ford at all.

That's how he got to DOD in the first place, by being the stereotypical "businessman who will clean up government." DOGE was not the first time politicans have talked about this kind of thing; it comes along every 20-30 years.

GWB was another one. The period seems to be shortening in the modern era.

He talks about it in The Fog of War (which is not going to make you change your ideia about him).

The Fog of War is definitely worth a watch. It was a fairly harrowing experience when I saw it. Actually, it is probably one of the hardest films I have watched. He clearly details the war crimes he presided over, and is open about the fact that he would have been tried as a war criminal had they lost.

He also pioneered the use of seat belts while at Ford. Which does make the morality-math a little more unusual.
