Do you think a General or Admiral is still considered a servicemember in the eyes of their subordinates?

I don't think they are. Any officer with stars on their chest or shoulders is a politician period. If you need Congress to confirm a promotion, you're no longer a servicemember...you're a politician and you loose the majority of respect of your subordinates. Minus a very few generals and admirals.

This is pretty much exactly what the 2LT just said. Why are you using the words of a pardoned war criminal?

They are first and foremost Service members- although they now have expanded areas of responsibility( see LT. Col Coe's response). As a young AF SSGT I had the pleasure to spend a good deal of time with LT. Gen Gordon E. Fornell, much of this time was off duty. His dedication to all things AF, and combat record leave no doubt he was a service member.

The best way to answer this Is they wear A Military uniform and a Military rank that out ranks you, if I was you I would treat them as such. If all they were is politicians then why wear the uniform when they can just a take a Congressional or Senate seat and get out of your way.
Bias much?
