[edit] Missing People

I rememeber in history that John J. Pershing was the first 5 star general. Also George Washington was promoted posthumously. Superbowlbound (talk • contribs) 07:25, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

You can find them on the respective page General of the Army. With regards to Pershing, he was actually a General of the Armies, a different rank from General of the Army but Pershing never wore more than four stars. General of the Armies could be considered to be almost a six star rank and there were plans to create this rank for the Invasion of Japan but this didn't happen as the A-bombs caused the Japanaese surrender. Later Washington was also postumously promoted to General of the Armies -- fdewaele, 26 February 2008, 9:50 CET
