No. I asked that same question when I served with him in Korea.

What is the most stars a general can have?

Right now, four. There are three ranks above this: General of the Army is a five-star rank. One officer can be promoted to it during wartime. General of the Armies is probably a six-star rank, but no one's quite sure: the only officer to wear it was General Pershing, who was allowed to create his own rank insignia. He wore four gold stars--other generals wear silver stars. General of the Armies of the United States is the highest rank there can ever be, and it's held by George Washington. It has no insignia.
