  True, in addition, Schwarzkopf is the top commander of all coalition
  forces.  One of his 'second in command' is a Saudi prince - lieutenant
  general something-or-other.  So, in fact that would make Schwarzkopf,
  Supreme Allied Commander (SAC) - a title used by SAC-Europe (SACEUR) -
  a US 4-star in Belgium.  However, I don't believe the title "SAC" has
  ever been attributed to Schwarzkopf.  But, it really doesn't matter
  what title he uses - he's done a magnificent job!
