Alexander Haig died at 85 years old...I always liked the old codger for some reason.

Rest in Peace.

Sorry Blade wielder but that has nothing to do with it. Haig was a likeable doofus in my eyes.
Lets not turn this into a conversation of left vs right okay Blade.
I wonder if you would crash the actual funeral to inform us of our "low motives"?...Dont answer that.

He was 'in control'. I liked him too. R.I.P. General.

I think a lot of his career (that I have read about, I'm too young to remember him in service) showed pluck and integrity. He was a straight-shooter without being offensive or rude, and I think we need more people like him in politics today.

Just my penny worth.

Yes, I believe that is a fair and accurate assessment.

I think you've incorrectly labeled me a member of the left or something.

My only beef with you is that you're constantly humming the same tune. I mean, give it a rest. Try and be a little more creative rather than picking headline after headline from Fox News and pasting them in this forum as new threads. Also, you offer little to no commentary of your own. Nine times out of ten you'll simply write a seemingly neutral sentence or two in your opening post and then let people fight amongst themselves.

Edit: This isn't exactly one of those situations, but I felt obliged to say something when, after I simply posted only the tiny quote from the article's opening paragraph, you were immediately on your guard and seemingly ready to throw down. "Would I crash the actual funeral"? Pffft. You're ridiculous.

Well, in a sense you did crash a funeral. I started this thread to honor the man and you are being fairly rude. Please desist.

I liked him too. He was very articulate, had very good reasoning and tough as nails.

I don't believe you.

But don't worry, I'm done. I only hope you are.
