Only if you are talking about a specific person. If you're writing "US Attorney General Eric Holder, Jr.," then it should be capitalized. If you're just referring to one of many positions of attorney general with no name attached, it should be lowercase--e.g.: "When I grow up, I want to be an attorney general."
