Reply #254: I heard it on the radio and yes what I said is true - a BG says "yes General" not "Ma'am."

Cannot say where I was on the general's staff because I would be recognized and 58 isn't very many and I stand by my statement that this BG said didn't have much practice saying "Ma'am to any general." Note: The issue is not how many generals but how many outranked the BG which means how many women generals have 2 stars or more. That's the number that counts since he wouldn't be saying "Yes, Ma'am" to someone on the BG level. Since you know so much, you tell us. Some of the retired women generals spent a lot of time deciding what uniforms women in the military should wear and nothing more important than that. Some are very important but how many out rank this BG and work with him? I guess I got your dander up but except for the Air Force part (radio called him Air Force) I stand by my comments. I don't spend my days watching TV. Please look up how women have been harassed at the Air Force Academy if you want to see what sexism looks like. I was the SGS at at Unified Command and was awarded the Joint Service Commendation Medal. What do you have?
