In the U.S. Army, you must attain the rank of Brigadier General. Some unwritten rules would be to have your Masters (or even a PhD), combat leadership experience, a host of command positions with definite improvements/results, attend every leadership and position-specific course offered, etc. It certainly helps to have graduated from West Point. You generally (no pun intended) must be married with a stable family life to wear a star (or even a bird for that matter). There are few single generals. In addition, it often takes 30 or more years of service to attain the rank. It can be done in less time, but it is certainly a rare exception to the rule. Most importantly of all (and I cannot stress this enough), you should be charismatic and well-liked; a people person. Without that, you are almost certain to retire as an 0-5.
Bronze stars can be awarded for valor. An example would be a soldier who pulls another soldier from a burning vehicle which places his life in danger.
Bronze stars can also be awarded for meritorious service which can be nothing more than doing what you are supposed to do. In combat, E-7's and above are often awarded Bronze Stars based on their leadership, or position of authority. It has become the good conduct medal of modern combat.
