 CHAR: The U.S. Army Brigadier General is addressed as "Brigadier";  U.S. Army, Air Force and Marine Corps officers of this rank are  addressed as "General", since in the U.S. military it is a General  officers rank. "Brigadier" is strictly a British or Commonwealth  form of address. Its understandable that Bond might make this  mistake, but Leiter, an American, should know better.
