In the Senate, it is the Senators who are the important ones. There are
only 100 of them (99 at the moment); it is the most exclusive elected
official federal government club in this country. Generals are a dime a
dozen.

Big whoop. *Elected officials. *Public servants with a dismal approval
rating.
If I were a sitting Senator right now I am not so sure I'd be so proud of
it.

Pure, unadultrated ego on her part.

Typical - you're no fan of democracy, but a big fan of the military. Well,
it's no easy task becoming one of 100 U.S. senators. Any idiot, and I mean
that in the fullest sense of the phrase (e.g., Herring, floridajim) can
become part of the military.

Strange way of interpreting a post .... and of thinking in general.
My post had nothing to do with democracy or the military.

Having said that however, the general deserves a compliment for maintaining
his professional demeanor and not allowing his personal feelings to overcome
it, as she did.

I am simply not a big fan of egotistical, pompous blowhards.
Haven't you noticed?

LOL! I was just thinking,

I wonder what the old battle axe would have done if when she
announced that she "worked hard for a long time" to get that title..
If the General would have said
"Are you bragging? or complaining?"
