Certainly not "Ma'am". In the military, that title is reserved for superiors. He, being a Brigadier General who truly did earn his title, was paying her a high complement.

I would have loved it if he had proceeded calling her "Barb".

Proper military protocol for addressing non-military superiors is "Sir" for males and "Ma'am" for females.

Too many of our elected officials have forgotten they are public SERVANTS. Many act arrogant like they are royalty. I will celebrate when the citizens of California fire servant Boxer.

Brigadier General Michael Walsh have really referred to man hater Barbara Boxier (D-CA) as BigTime Welfare Brat.

She did not Earn her position and Title. Senator, Representative, President, Governor, etc. are Titles Bestowed upon and not Earned. They have to earn respect after the fact

I'm not sure if she is a man hater but she sure hates the military. As an officer and a gentleman he could have done nothing but what he did, but he showed her up as someone with over exalted ideas of her own value. what she did was rude, you don't slight someone over something as childish as that

OK, You want errelevant bovine defecation? How about Barbra Boxer sponsosring 403 pieces of legislation since 1991 where 341 haven't even made it out of committee. That is a colossal waste of time and money. Just think of all the man hours that went into printing, preparation and distribution of 341 bills that didn't even get out of committee. You want to talk about bovine defecation, take a look at some of the bills she sponsored that clogged up the system. The United States Senate has very important things on thier agenda and does not need Barbra Boxer creating deceptive legislation.

But your reply to Tin was simply "Was I talking to you?" which is typically said when someone is not welcome in your conversation.

Not trying to be an ass, but why is his view irrelevant?

Boxer is a poor excuse for a Senator, and he pointed out why. If she wants the "respect" associated with the job maybe she should show the country a little first.

Elemenopee, this is my question. This is my post. If someone wants to comment on a comment you made, they are more than welcomed. If you want to address a specific question to me, you can write a private message. But don't expect too much.

She worked hard to become a Senator. Should have spent a little more time on learning how to be a "good" Senator. Say thank you California.

As Senator like she asked. Like it or not that's what she is. If she hates men like you say, then she does and still, she's a Senator. When I am President, I'll wanna be referred to as the Sexy One.

"She is a man hater because she demand(s) equity between the sexes"

That requires hatred does it? Equality would have meant referring to her as "sir."

Huh?

Sorry, I accidentally raved you. Mam is the highest form of respect and she hates the military so she wants no part of their respect.

ma'am is a gender based term...In the professional world people are addressed by their title. A female Senator is no less entitled to this than a female general.

Would it have been inappropriate for him to refer to a male as sir? You are really trying hard to defend this bitch, that is what she is. Now if he would have called her sweetheart or something condescending that would be different. Ma'am is not any of those, it is respect.

I have to call bullshit.

If you have a female superior in the corporate world you don't use their "title", you address them with Mrs. , or Miss, or Madam XXX. If they ask you to perform a task, the proper response is "Yes Ma'am". Didn't your momma teach you any manners?

I can se you on a daily basis,,, "Assistant Manager Calaway, may I take my break now?" LMAO
