muahaha, us OSC fans will take over the boards
But a FOUR star general?
I thought it was:
1 Star: Brigidier General: Commands 2 Regiments or More aka Brigade
2 Star: Major General: Commands military facilities or a Division
3 Star: Lt. General Commands a Corps.
4 Star: Field Marshal(?) Commands an Army
Whats the proper ranking? I know a 4 Star General can be Chief of Staffs.
Alse Bean why the hell dont you have contact info? That is waaay out of procedure.
So I'll post this message:

Oh lord, those are pretty funny. I really liked the Irish MP one.
Some more funny quotes.
"Do not touch anything unnecessarily. Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally."-Soviet Infantry Manual: 1930's
"The best tank terrain is that without anti-tank weapons."-Russian Military Doctrine
"Interdum feror cupidine partium magnarum Europae vincendarum"
Sometimes I get this urge to conquer large parts of Europe.-Latin/Roman Quote
Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam.
I have a catapult. Give me all the money, or I will fling an enormous rock at your head
Also, a rather funny joke I found.
A Platoon Sergeant and his Platoon Leader are bunking down in the field for
the night. The Platoon Sergeant looks up and says, "When you see all the
stars in the sky, what do you think, sir?"
The LT replies, "Well, I think of how insignificant we really are in the
universe; how small a piece of such a grand design. I can't help but wonder
if what we do truly means anything or makes any difference. Why? What do
you think of, Sergeant?"
"I think somebody stole the damn tent."
Now for some pictures.
"Okay! We Will let you back on the ship as long as you promise not to play 'In The Navy' again!"
"I told you that bomb would hit too close to that sourkraut factory!"
"...Shut up..."

hi, that is not a 4 stars generals rank, it is a Colonel's rank, generals have stars, but the stars are in gold, and do not have the 2 stripes. you should search google image for pictures of chinese military ranks.
also china do not have 4 stars generals, because they think Mao only ranked himself 3 stars, and no one should go higher than him. maybe it has changed now.
