Capitalize "general" when it is part of a proper name (i.e., General Eisenhower) but not when used alone (i.e., Eisenhower was a general). Also capitalize "general" in direct address (i.e., "Good morning, General.") Usually, capitalize a title when it is understood that a particular person is the topic. (i.e., "When will the General be in his office?") I think the article "the" makes the case though I have found no rule to justify my opinion.
