Considering the scale of engagement for which a fifth star is given, I sincerely hope we never have to issue any more.

Taking nothing away from General Franks, but Iraqi Freedom cannot compare with command of an entire world war European or Pacific theater. The idea of giving him a fifth star and raising him to the same rank as Eisenhower, Bradley, and MacArthur is comparable to the suggestions a few weeks ago that Pvt. Lynch might be up for a CMH.

As much as I admire Franks and am everlastingly grateful for his brilliant leadership, I have to agree with you.
