I watched and listened to the video.
Honestly, that BG should have known better. He didn't get to where he is without knowing how to keep greasy wheels from squeeking.
He should have known better.
The incident was quite embarrassing.
She is a Senator, and given the situation, the correction was not out of line.
She did not seem flippant to me.
Regardless, his mistake was inexcusable.
The military prides itself on customs and courtesies. He should have taken the time to remind himself of what's appropriate and what's not.
If he did and he just messed up, well, that's "acceptable" if you're Private Benjamin!
"I didn't know" or "I messed up" is NEVER ACCEPTABLE FOR A BRIGADIER GENERAL!!!
