The senator was absolutely correct. That general would not have
addressed a male senator as mister.

Always thought that Miss or Missus were the Mister equivalents.
And that M'am was the Sir equivalent.
That's how I've always used the terms. And they connote respect.

If he wanted to use that form of
speech, he could have properly and respectfully addressed her as Madam
Senator, madam being the full form of ma'am. "Senator," would have been
sufficient, as would have "Senator Boxer."

Jesus H. Christ. These Senate panel participants are always saying
"yes ma'am" and "yes sir" to Senators.
And maam is practically codified in the military as a term of respect.
Boxer acted like a ****ing idiot.
And he acceded to her wish.
He didn't ask that she refer to him as Brigadier General, which he
could well have done to put her in her place.
But then maybe he wasn't suffering from menstrual cramps as she was.


There is a protocol for addressing officials, and the fact that you and
the other uneducated ****s don't know it doesn't excuse those who should
know from not knowing.

There's also a protocol for not coming off as a rude bitch.
Boxer doesn't have a handle on that protocol.
Maybe she's a dyke.

In the Army, I always addressed senior females as 'ma'am'. Senior
males were 'sir'.

That's the way it was.

Boxer's a bitch.

Last time I knew, the military protocol for addressing senior
officers is either "yes/No Sir, or Yes/Mo Ma'am. Even to the point
where it becomes a natural habit. I address others with Sir/Ma'am,
even to this day because it was the way I was taught while young.

I'm sure the general meant no offense, and to him he was following a
proper protocol.

OK so Boxer thought it uncouth. well, I think it was her problem, not
his.

maybe being addressed as "Senator" makes her feel more important.
Maybe she has low self esteem or something.

Most politicians have low self esteem, and deservedly so.

I once shook hands with a pudgy guy who:

Sailed from San Francisco to Hawaii.
Rounded Cape Horn, twice.
Transited the Panama Canal.
Has owned more than 20 boats in his lifetime.
Sailed large boats competitively.
Has been hundreds of miles from land in a powerboat
under his command.

And who set a new record for the most distance covered
and most fish caught in the Chesapeake Bay in the shortest
time!

It was a put down. It was blatant respect for him and the Military. It
wouldn't have mattered if he had said Senator the first time.

she was saying I'm the important subject here.

In the Senate, it is the Senators who are the important ones. There are
only 100 of them (99 at the moment); it is the most exclusive elected
official federal government club in this country. Generals are a dime a
dozen.

Big whoop. Elected officials. Public servants with a dismal approval
rating.
If I were a sitting Senator right now I am not so sure I'd be so proud of
it.

Pure, unadultrated ego on her part.
