Respect for a General

Most of you have heard about the General that was reprimanded by a Senator for not addressing her as Senator. Well, here is a compilation. Please watch this video and let me know if you think her comments to the General were appropriate. Please leave comments. Was a General way off base to call a Senator "ma'am" or "sir"?

Also, please note this from the Fox News story:


"Tuesday's hearing was hardly the first time a military officer used those terms during sworn testimony.

The same day at a Senate Armed Services subcommittee hearing, two Navy officials repeatedly referred to Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., with the title, "sir."

"Yes, sir," Navy Vice Adm. Bernard McCullough said when answering questions.

Wicker raised no objections."
