Dude! ALL FLAG OFFICERS!!!!!!! Retired Generals and Admirals... 1-4 (or 5?) stars...
No 5 stars left, Sunlight. The last of the 5 star generals and admirals from WW2, Omar Bradley, passed away in 1981.
Five star rank was a very nice reward for those distinguished admirals and generals who led American forces to victory in WW2. For pay and benefits purposes, they drew full pay and benefits until the day they died.
I didn't think so, Captain.H. But I'm so out of the loop on some of this stuff nowadays and I *for sure* didn't want to be wrong or offend the other way! Thanks.

Not always the case Captain H, as some heroes do not resort to polical influence they know they are there to serve God and Country.
