These Liberals hate the military. They always have, and despite what they say, they always will.

That woman is a horrible horrible person.

The more fake a “doctor” is, the more they insist on being addressed as Dr.
Case in point — “Dr Phil” and “Dr Laura”.

“You generally refer to a person by their rank (with the exception of the captain of a ship) when that person is an inferior officer or enlisted, as in “Sgt, report to the XYZ” or “Lt, follow the Sgt to the XYZ and find out how it’s done.””

EXCELLENT POINT.”

Yeah, I mean the inferior (responding to an officer, anyway), says “Yes, sir/ma’am.”

So oddly enough, she wants to be addressed as an inferior.

Perhaps it was a Freudian wish to be dominated.

It reminds me of Major Joulihan telling Radar to call her ma’am and not sir. To which he replies Yes sir, major ma’am, sir....major.
