Contempt

I have a healthy respect for our military and rightly so. These people endure pain, every environmental condition known to man, and months or years away from their families as they tackle problems and issues that no one else can.

The Army Corps of Engineers is no exception. These people spend their lives building, fixing and improving infrastructure and waterways to better serve the cities and communities.

That's why this video irritates me so much.



Don't get me wrong, you should address a senator as senator, however, it is really about respect. I heard other audio yesterday of the General addressing other senators and he intermixed senator and sir/ma'am. It was appropriate. It was respectful.

Senator Boxer was not. I certainly hope during the rest of her questioning she respectfully referred to him as General, since he has obviously worked so hard, not for the title, but for the PEOPLE of this country.
