Alexander Haig: And I think it's time we moved forward and finally put the conflict in Southeast Asia behind us! Senator: Excuse me, General, but aside from personal convenience, why would you have people "put behind them" precisely those things which should never be forgotten? Tell me, General, is it all right for the Japanese to be "sick and tired of Pearl Harbor"? Should the Germans ever be allowed to "put the Holocaust behind them"? Haig: Yes. They're allies. Voice: And the Nuremberg trials? Haig: Wallowing in World War II.
