Best Answer

US Military Stars, are insignias: 1. From WWII up until the Vietnam War, US "Stars" were WHITE in color, and painted on practically everything: Tanks, trucks, jeeps, artillery pieces, ships, riverine boats, helicopters, and jet fighter bombers. After the Vietnam War, all "WHITE" stars were painted "BLACK" (called subdued). 2. Rank Insignia "Stars" indicate GENERAL'S in the US Army, US Marine Corps, and US Air Force. In the US Navy, "Stars" indicate an Admiral; Generals=Admirals. After the Vietnam War, all "Silver" stars worn on the uniform were painted "Black" (subdued), when worn on combat uniforms (called FATIQUES during the Vietnam War, Korean War, and World War Two).
