I have just read a story that described a plan to promote General MacArthur to General of the Armies and institute a six star rank for him. The plan was cancelled after the atomic bombs forced Japan's surrender.

Let's just suppose that Japan did not surrender and an invasion of Japan happened. Let's also assume that MacArthur gets the six star rank and becomes the first and possibly only officer to hold that rank. Considering how big his ego got in OTL, the possibilities are interesting.

So what happens in a world with a six star MacArthur who is ultimately successful in taking Japan?

*Pictured is the proposed six star rank.
