Speaking as an employee of the Dept of Defense, and working directly with the Army (including officers out the ass), I'd have to say it'd be more likely said general would be submissive at least half the time, probably more. It's pretty common for someone who has power and responsibility weighing heavily on him during work hours to want to shuck it off at every opportunity, just to have a chance to let someone else take charge for a change.

Just saying. ☺
