George Washington was appointed "General of the Armies of the United States" by Congress in 1976, with the intent to permanently and irrevocably place him at the head of all U.S. Generals, including Pershing in WW1, and the 5-star Generals and Admirals of WW 2.
No doubt on this. Despite promotions to "super star" levels, US history owes a debt to George Washington that no one can exceed.
