Very good firstie by the son of Al Haig. Who'd have thunk? Pretty standard lead character, smart-ass JAG attorney, former special forces, code of honor but just irreverent enough to get some interesting asides and thoughts, inserted into a decent set of story lines which include some surprises, along with an interesting look at regular military versus the non-combatant roles, as well as a look at the political side of the military, and, of course, the country. That I don't quite know where Haig (or his lead character) stands politically is testament to the fact that he's written a novel, and not a treatise. Looking forward to the balance of his books. (I've already started number two.)
