That took seconds for that remark to come up. I am sure we will see it 20,000 times today.

RIP General.

Long career in the Military and Politics, and certainly a lightening rod in his own way; certainly one of the central American politicians of the 20th Century.

Prayers for General Haig and his Family.

...he should have stayed a career officer...it’s best to keep the Army out of politics and politics out of the Army...that’s the American way.

Agreed, and so has every Republican since about 1930.

Sad, he was one of the good guys. All Al Haig joke posted on this thread WILL be responded to. Keep your jokes to yourselves.

He loved America and served as Nixon's Chief of Staff (Whitehouse) and Reagans's Secretary of State. Those jobs are currently held by Rahm "Dead fish" Emanuel and Hillary Clinton.

No wonder our country is in the state it is.
