See, two completely different meaning, despite how it's spelled the same and pronounced the same.
1) The leader of an army
2) Considering or including only the main features or elements of something; not exact or detailed
The second meaning is the original, the title General is actually a shortening of captain general, which was essentialy a captain in general command so the noun general is a newer use of the word then the adjective general.
