[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 550475, member: 9859"] Albeit it's military lingo protocol to call your superiors 'sir" and "ma'am", unless instructed otherwise, what's unclear from this clip is how Brigadier General Walsh addressed the other male Senators on the Committee. If he addressed them as Senator and then addressed Sen. Boxer as 'ma'am', then Boxer might have felt a little out and was well within bounds to correct him. If the other Senators were addressed as 'sir' or 'ma'am', well Boxer is just another politician on a powertrip ....:peaceful: Eventhough Senator Boxer comes away looking like the b!tch here, she is still part of the small deliberative body that decides how and when to finance and direct the military. In this country the military is and will always be controlled by the civil authorities. The General and all our military personal deserves all the respect in the world, but lets not forget who our founding fathers and Constitution put in charge here..... [/QUOTE]
