You know, I don't think she took it as an insult at all - I believe she took it as an opportunity to deliberately and publically denigrate the General into “bending” or “bowing” to HER wishes. She knew exactly what she was doing, moron or not. These people are experienced at mind games and public shows of “power” - especially when it comes to humiliating people who DO have real power.

Had that been me? I'd have ignored her and continued using “Ma'am” - or made it a POINT to specifically address all the men in the room as “Sir” and her as - nothing - ...no “Senator”, “Ma'am”, “Miss” - no appellation whatsoever.

Really, really tired of their stupid little power games... You don't talk down to a warrior who's spent most of his adult life DEFENDING the values which she sh*ts on every day of her useless existence.

A fine testament to the General, his patience, and his professionalism. He is a true credit to the professional Officer corps of this country. He's a better man than I am for dealing with that snotty commie witch so gracefully...

What would one expect from a cheap, baby-killing skank? Of course she is insecure. You have only to look at her to realize there isn't a drop of dignity or class in her twisted little body.

A mannerless, filthy hog, wallowing in the mud can demand that people call it “Ruler of The Barnyard”. But it’s still just a hog. :-)

dude, if not for mililtary courtesy, it wouldve been nice to see the MAN go on a Nicholson type rant and let the old bag know exactly what shes worth...

oh well, I am certain that the General will remember that little episode when the SHTF and there is a choice of who/what to defend...

and you 'Sir' are undoubtedly correct that this wasnt an insult, just another opportunity to grab at power, of which she has none, nor class either...
