Bill Bennett took a moment this morning to chat with The Corner about the passing of Alexander Haig. “To me, what people forget is how he spent most of his life — in service to his country in uniform. He was a man of valor who served with distinction in Korea and Vietnam. Then, he went into politics, where he was always uneasy. H. G. Wells once said that when you’re in the military, you’re in a higher order of being, and that when you go into politics it’s maybe not as high. To Haig, politics was an awkward fit, which is to his credit. He was a man of dignity, carried himself well, and loyally served Ronald Reagan and his country.”
