A general testifying before Congress should be aware of simple protocol,
because once you are doing that for part of your living, you are as much a
politician as the elected representatives. and you should know what you
are doing. I'm sure that if Mrs. Boxer had addressed the general as
"mister," the usual crowd would have jumped all over her.


I suspect that if *Ms.* Boxer had inadvertently referred to the general as
"mister", he probably would have ignored it.
