Preferred, I would agree. I believe historically, President Eisenhower continued to be addressed as General by some?

During his Presidency, there was really only one person in the US who potentially outranked him, and I suppose she could call him anything she liked : )

 

The unofficial order of rank established by the WH & State Dept for those in government service states that the President outranks Senators, who outrank Five Star Generals of the Army, who of course outrank LTCs. 

 

But when all else fails, these guidelines may come in handy.

So to clarify, we screwed up and we're sending this hapless guy out to try to make it look like the other guy screwed up.

Well done Khun Sudaret and Sen Tammy...plus Uncle Sam...Joe..yes..

Thailand is no longer a 3rd world country, why does it need to beg donations from the yanks?

Because for whatever the reasons are that lie in the past, it needs all the vaccines it can get now.

But…there are no brown envelopes on offer. Does the US unreasonably and foolishly expect Thai government ministers to sacrifice personal profit in the interest of public health?

 

 

Remember, no strings attached.  In other words do as you please with the donations.

Unlike Thailand, once a General always a general.

General Senator Duckworth , or Senator General Duckworth sounds OK.

She obviously deserves both titles!
