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

Probably. "Put Jesus back in this state and the gays out" is a sure fire votegetter around these parts.

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.

Only when done incorrectly.

It would be like calling an assistant professor "Assistant Smith" instead of "Professor Smith"

The general in attorney general is descriptive

Louisiana is rife with uneducated voters that want the ‘Christian Right’ to tell them what to do.

How so?

I've heard a lot of criticisms of Landry (dumb, crazy, unqualified, incompetent, bible-thumping, etc), but never corrupt. Where does that come from?

I wouldn't be so sure about that

I don't think the over the top coonass schtick plays well with a lot of the Republican base outside of Acadiana and Houma
