Yes. They go in the center of the ribbon of the medal. If you rate a star, and it is the correct corresponding star/medal.
A 5 star general in the Marine Corps would be called an imposter because there is no such person. The generals in the USMC are Brigadier General ( 1 star ) Major General ( 2 star ) Lieutenant General ( 3 star ) and General ( 4 star ). There is no 5 star general in the USMC. The general who outranks a 4 star general is the Commandant of the Marine Corps but is himself a General ( 4 star ). He is outranked by the Secretary of the Navy and is a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Generals get their starts by moving up in rank in the military. Each amount of stars stand for a different rank.
As stated in the United States Code, the number of four star generals has a limit in every department. For the US Army, the maximum is 230, Air force totals to 208, and for the Marine Corps is 60.
There are Inspectors General, Attorney Generals and four different levels of Military Generals starting with Brigadier General (One Star), Major General (Two Stars), Lieutenant General (Three Stars) and General (with Four Stars).
