Best Answer

In the US services Generals wear stars. Majors and Lt. Colonels wear an Oak Leaf; the gold oak leaf is the Major's insignia, and the silver oak leaf is the Lieutenant Colonel's rank insignia.

Major is the first rank entering the FIELD GRADE levels, that is why it is gold.

Other countries have different insignia to denote rank.

None in their rank insignia (there are some on the uniform itself, for example, in the US flag patch). Stars are worn by general officers; Colonels wear "birds" (eagles) instead.

Why did Robert E. Lee wear colonel insignia while he was a general?

He was important. Lee wore only the three star insignia of a Confederate colonel, which was the highest rank he had earned in the US army before the civil war began. He wanted to receive a peacetime promotion to general after the Civil War was one, assuming it would be the Confederates that were the victors.
