Thacker) Organization: Technophiles Inc. - Engineers with Attitude Lines: 14 Approved: military@att.att.com From: carroll@cs.uiuc.edu (Alan M. Carroll) Can anyone tell me about 5 star generals in the US? In particular, can you only become a ***** during wartime? Does a ***** get demoted after the war, or does he keep his rank? What is the relation between the Chairman of the JCS and a *****? How many stars do Powell and Schwarzkopf have? (The seem to only have 4 on their collars, but I'm not sure). Thanks! -- Alan M.
