From the first paragraph of his bio on the LA DOJ website

quote:

One of four children raised in a middle class, St. Martinville family - General Landry grew up through Louisiana’s oil bust - teaching him personally the effects that a bad economy can have on a family, particularly in a small town.


Other references to his rank scattered throughout the website. After some research, I found that it can be an archaic form of address still occasionally used in some courtroom situations. But to run with it and call yourself a general in common parlance is over the top douchebaggery.

I've met people who've gone through law school call themselves "Dr. Lawyer" because they have a juris doctorate.

To each their own. They are just proud of their accomplishments

Weird.

General is purely descriptive in Attorney General and bears no relation to the military title.

Hence why the plural is Attorneys General

Attorney General Landry Biography is how the page linked is titled

AG Landry didn't write it

If he did it would say Attorney General Landry Autobiography

ETA
Agree with the fact he is a douchebag

Landry sucks, but referring to the AG as "General" is in fact a thing.

Every fricking AG in modern history did the exact same thing. That doesn't make it right, but Jeff Landry didn't invent this bullshite.

And people want this DB to be our great hope in the 2019 governor race.

I don't care how bad Honor Code is. We need to do better.
