1 Star 1" Corrugated Gold Pair Collar PINS Rank Insignia Police/Chief/Deputy by HighQ Store

Bought them to make a tribute to General Pershing, the only living General of the Armies The U.S. ever had during WWI. General Washington was postuemosly promoted, since no one can outrank him, and Douglas McArthur was going to get the job during the Korean war (6 star general equivalent). Pershing was allowed to make his own rank insignia by congress. Other allied countries had generals with as many as 10 stars of various colors. When he proposed 4 gold stars to congress, as opposed 4 or 5 silver stars, other allied countries generals laughed at this. So he settled on 1 big gold star, as an insult to them. They had to follow the orders of a man who wore 1 star, insulting them, he made it big, so all could see (especially thier own troops), these men (Generals) obeying him. He kept his star gold to signify the difference between him and other U.S. General, all who were at the very least went to a Military College. Pershing eventually went to the War College, but not until after his promotion. The General of the Armies is the Commander of All the U.S. and U.S. Allied forces, out ranking the President, nominated to the Allies by congress, and Appointed by all the allies. As you can imagine you want someone who will not be a Tyrant or Dictator for this position, so they picked a man who was enlisted and became an Officer on the battlefield, never had any political aspirations for this, John Pershing. The position lime 5 star General is for life, so it is awarded by the President with Congresses approval rarely, and historically only in Wartime. This is one of the major changes in government that has allowed to let politicians run Rampant, there used to be these Generals to keep them and each other in check. The U.N., The W.H.O., and Interpol try, but like Pershing get not much respect. If we had Generals like these in the six permanent Countries that are on the U.N. Security Council the U.N. would have less hassles. Think, the U.N. got no respect from Saddam Hussien, thus the war on terror. The W.H.O. got no respect from the U.S., thus the Carona-COVID Pandemic. The CDC got no respect from the President and "National Health" Advisor, and you have mutating COVID Viruses, etc. As a former Army Paratrooper, part of our mission was to ensure the medics could do thier job while we provided Security for this. Conclusion, we say martial law, next time appoint leaders with global jurisdiction devided by the established U.N. and the countries that compose it for this reason, (and not just NATO).
