Nope.

Ike was a 5-star general. The other 5-star generals were George C. Marshall, Douglas MacArthur, Henry H. Arnold, and Omar Bradley. There were also 5-star admirals in the Navy.

The only other man besides this president to hold rank above a 5 star general was John Pershing, who chose his own rank insignia and never wore more than 4 stars.

All your most recent answers are correct, except for the presidential salary question. Nixon is incorrect there. Kenendy for example made $100,000 per year, and a $50,000 expense account (which he refused to use).

All these latest answers are correct.

Even the LBJ one as first pres born in the 20th century. I had Kennedy for that, but wrongo. LBJ was born in 1908, Kennedy not till 1917. So note none of the above match with Kennedy. Sorry for the errors.
