Omar N. Bradley In September 1950, Omar N. Bradley became the fifth Army general to be promoted to five-star rank. The five-star rank still exists, although no U.S. officers have held it since the death of General Bradley in 1981.

Read More »On December 14, 1944, Congress passed Public Law 482, authorizing the temporary establishment of a five-star rank: General of the Army and, for the U.S. Navy, Fleet Admiral. This aligned the United States' military ranks with those of its World War II allies, thus eliminating the problem of U.S. officers commanding Allied officers of technically higher rank. In December 1944, the Army promoted four general officers to General of the Army: Generals George C. Marshall, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Henry H. "Hap" Arnold. The Navy, meanwhile, promoted three admirals to Fleet Admiral — Admirals William D. Leahy, Ernest J. King and Chester Nimitz — and a fourth, Admiral William F. Halsey, in December 1945. After the establishment of the Air Force as a separate service branch in 1947, General Arnold also became General of the Air Force. In September 1950, Omar N. Bradley became the fifth Army general to be promoted to five-star rank. The five-star rank still exists, although no U.S. officers have held it since the death of General Bradley in 1981. The president may promote a general or admiral to five-star rank at any time, with Senate approval. However, U.S. military policy has been to award five-star rank only when the rank of an American commander must be equal to or higher than that of officers from other nations under his or her control (as was the case in World War II).

Bradley Sept. 20, 1950 Section 30, Grave 428-1-2 Only two U.S. officers have held a rank higher than General of the Army or Fleet Admiral: John J. Pershing and George Washington, who hold the rank of General of the Armies. Pershing was promoted to General of the Armies in 1919, and Washington received a posthumous promotion in 1976, as part of the United States' bicentennial celebration. The Army has never officially adopted six stars to correspond with this rank, however. General Pershing is buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Section 34, Grave S-19.

These days, even movies about demigods from another dimension have scientific consultants. But if there’s a conflict between a good storyline and the laws of physics, the storyline will always win. Bullet dodging, Scientific American reports, is one such make-believe ability invented by Hollywood. Regardless of your speed and finesse, no human can dodge a bullet at close range. The bullet is simply traveling too fast. Even the slowest handguns shoot a bullet at 760 miles per hour, SciAm explains. Humans can react to something in about 0.2 seconds on the fast end depending on the task and if they know something is coming. But in everyday circumstances the average reaction is more like 1.5 seconds. With this in mind, MythBusters performed an experiment to find out how far away an average person would have to stand away from a speeding bullet in order dodge it, SciAm says. The answer, it turns out, is about three football fields—hardly the stuff of Hollywood. The news for would-be heros gets even worse, too. Unless you were peering through binoculars, you probably wouldn’t be able to see the bullet getting fired from that distance, meaning you wouldn’t know to dodge it in the first place. The bottom line: unless you’re Neo from The Matrix, don’t count on being able to dodge a bullet to save your life. If you’re still not convinced, here MythBusters gets into some details about the ins and outs of their bullet-dodging experiment:
