    He could've taken off that pirate hat and stepped out onto the street in the late 1960s or early 1970s and looked completely normal with that beard and hair.

    That is indeed a pretty cool sketch but I'm not so sure how it would've looked in the final, metallic, three-dimensional, struck version.

    Sorry, I thought we were only considering humans, not hyper-intelligent aliens posing as humans.

    Wow he lived quite the life, eh. Distinguished service in two major wars as well as serving under three presidents! He was also a fellow Pennsylvanian like yourself, though I can't quite pronounce the town of his birth :p

    Alexander Haig is probably best known for his claim he was in charge of the country when President Reagan was shot and in surgery and the VP (I believe George Bush) was out of the country on diplomatic business. Actually, he was fifth or sixth in line of being the Commander in Chief. His claim was quickly refuted.
