Southern culture is not the way of Washington.
I'm sure she interpreted the ma'm as being miniumly polite and somehow taking away from her status as a Senator. I don't know if this was his intent or not. A lot of uniformed military people don't spend a lot of time in Washington, and therefore don't know all the "rules". Or she may have just been in a b*tchy mood and decided to take it out on the General.

In the military, saying "yes, General" is considered less polite than saying "yes, sir".

I don't make up these conventions. Believe me, I have seen things go to h*ll in a handbasket and been left wondering why. I don't know why so many people on the Hill have animosity for the military, but they do. Particularly Democrats.
