Yes, even though he only wore four stars. But they were in gold, not silver. They designed a six star rank, in case we had to invade Japan, for MacArthur, so he'd outrank all the allied field marshals.

And Pershing was General of the Armies before Washington was.
I don’t care for honors after death. I don’t care for the idea of promoting Lieutenant General Leslie McNair to 4 star general after his death in Normandy (from a US bomb).
Sure McNair went forward from his safe position in the US in an attempt to better understand the war, and he died as a result of doing that, which he perceived as his duty.
I don’t think that it should be the business of the US government to create legal lies by act of congress. Such an act I think is degrading the congress, and they don’t have credibility points to give away.
