The addition about how the highest permanent rank in US military is still the two star rank is fascinating! (I did not know about this, although it does explain some weird things I came across in the past, e.g. whether Joe Sestak, the former PA politician and a former navy man, was a 3- or 2-star admiral at the end of his military career.) I wonder if this is for the same historical reason as why US Army, at its beginning, did not have a rank above major general, period (and only rarely gave anyone even a 3 star rank for much of its history, which I guess means that there weren\'t even 3-star positions.)
