Virtually all world War 1 generals deserve the nickname. Mofos were using tactics that had nothing to do with reality, and millions died as a result
Jacob Turner
t. never read a nonfiction book about WW1
Nicholas King

Not in a war that had Luigi Cadorna in it.
Really, Haig doesn't deserve to be remembered by history at all.
Wyatt Hughes
He was a good general, literally the only reason he's remembered poorly (By pop-historians, not actual academics) is that Lloyd George waited until Haig died and then used him as a scapegoat to put all of his own failings on.

Luigi "Break the line or its court-martial time" Cadorna
Luigi "To Vienna or bust or bust or bust" Cadorna
Luigi "12th times the charm!" Cadorna

What a stupid fucking post.
William Ross
Haig was quite incompetent desu
Ethan Lewis
>Haig was quite incompetent
What gives you that idea? Haig's conduct of the western front was sound. There were no colossal blunders under his generalship like Nivelle's ill-conceived offenses. He just ran into the same problems that every army had that made decisive breakthroughs impossible.
