Yes.
As would anyone who wrote English correctly.

For once Lieutenant Scott is not totally wrong about English usage.
Collins dictionary gives both plurals as correct and likewise for
attorney general and governor general. However on the subject of
mothers-in-law, etc. it does not offer an alternative.

A "mother in law" can be made plural to "mother in law"s. Just add the s to the end of the entire unit.
