I've always been told 5 star General of the Army, but something tells me it will be Bowe, the traitor, Bergdahl appointed by the president.

General of the Army (5 stars). According to http://www.history.army.mil, the only people to attain that rank are George C. Marshall, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Omar Bradley. The site also says that, "The grade of General of the Armies of the United States is associated with two officers in our history, George Washington and John J. Pershing, although only General Pershing actually held it". http://www.history.army.mil/html/faq/5star.html
