Transcription
In the history of the United States, we have had 12 presidents who had previously served as generals in the Army. In the history of the United States, there have been eight wars, and not a single one of them started while a former general was president. I've led troops in battle. I know the horror of war, and I know the imperative of peace. Al Haig for president, strength, skill, understanding, leadership for America, and for peace.
