General of the Armies
General of the Armies (or in its full title General of the Armies of the United States) is the highest possible rank in the United States Army. For the next rank down, see General of the Army.
After World War II, which saw the introduction of U.S. "5-star" officers who outranked Washington, both Congress and the President revisited the issue of Washington's rank. To maintain George Washington's proper position as the first Commanding General of the United States Army, he was appointed, posthumously, to the grade of General of the Armies of the United States by congressional joint resolution Public Law 94-479 January 19, 1976, approved by President Gerald R. Ford on October 11, 1976. The law established the grade as having "rank and precedence over all other grades of the Army, past or present", clearly making it superior to General of the Army. The Department of the Army Order 31-3, issued on March 13, 1978 had an effective appointment date of July 4, 1976. The rank ensures that no United States military officer will ever outrank George Washington.

:46:33
For the life of me,
:46:34
I still can't quite
figure that war out.
:46:36
Why we had to go
all that dang way to fight it
:46:40
and why's we had to lose
so many young men.
:46:44
Can't figure it out.
:46:47
But we got a proud tradition
here in this town.
:46:51
Billy's great-grandfather
was at the First Bull Run.
:46:54
My pa was
over in France in '18.
:46:57
Don't forget, you were
over in the Pacific in '44.
:47:01
Guadalcanal.
:47:02
Is that right?
:47:04
Yeah. Well, I guess
this family's fought
:47:06
in every war that, uh,
this country's ever had.
:47:10
I reckon we're ready
to do it again
:47:13
if'n we have to.
:47:17
'Course they never did know
what done happened and all.
:47:21
There was a letter
from a colonel,
:47:25
I think it was.
:47:27
Colonel Moore.
:47:28
That's right,
Colonel Moore.
:47:30
He said there was
a bad ambush one night.
:47:33
Said that Billy distinguished himself
in the fighting.
:47:37
He also told us that
Billy died real quick.
:47:40
That's good
that he died quick.

Hunting party guide: There he is. He's a beauty, isn't he? An imperial, ma'am. Fourteen pointer.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II: He was wounded.
Hunting party guide: Yes. We got our guest in very close, had him lined up perfect. And, still... An investment banker, ma'am, from London. I'm afraid the stalkers had to follow him for miles to finish him off.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II: Let's hope he didn't suffer too much.

What will you
say tonight, Mr Kovic?
1:02:19
I'm going
to tell the truth.
1:02:21
Any plans
for the future?
1:02:23
I guess we'll see.
