You have to wonder what went through the mind of a United States Senator to prompt her to find it a slight by a General to refer to her as ma'am. It is standard military courtesy to refer to both civilians and public officials as sir or ma'am when addressing a question. Sen. Boxer must have incredibly deep disdain and animosity for members of the military if she took exception to his courtesy.
