I could be wrong, but there haven't been 5 star generals since World War II.
49 u/Jeansaintfire 12h ago The last person promoted to 5 star was in 1950 Omar Bradley who died in 1981. There's only been 5 ever. 4 u/danlawl 12h ago Who votes for them to become one then if there is so few of them? Is it their peers? 13 u/UnrealCanine 12h ago The US can only promote to a 5-star during wartime, and hasn't declared war since WWII. Omar Bradley is an exception because when he was made Chairman of the Joint Cheifs of Staff, Douglas MacArthur would have been his subordinate and outranked him 6 u/arwinda 11h ago But ... the US is at war with wokeness! That must count for something, least a 5 star Trump general! /s
