I believe that five star ranks are reserved for wartime for Army, Navy, and Air Force only, per US Officer Rank Insignia.

I'm pretty sure that the last five-star was Eisenhower. It is not a "normal" rank that can be worked up to. Franks, Myers and those guys are at the top of the food chain and there's nowhere to go rank-wise for them now.

It is a specially created rank for unique situations, like the Supreme Allied Command for WWII.
