A geek might say that most flags are shaped like two triagles joined together - any rectangle splits into two right-angled triangles of course - but there are other contenders.\n\nNepal features a flag which looks like two triangles, one on top of the other, bordered with blue and each triangle featuring a white emblem on a red background.  The uppermost emblem is rather like a star rising above the moon, whilst the lower emblem is a simple star.\n\nThe Israeli flag, featuring the Star of David is another possibility - the star is of course made of two intertwined equilateral triangles drawn in blue on a white background, with two more blue lines - one above and one below.\n\nOf course much of this depends on personal perception.  The Jamaican flag, for example, could be perceived to be two black triangles joined together or two green triangles joined together.

1 star - brigadeer general\n2 stars - major general\n3 stars - lieutenant general\n4 stars - general\n5 stars - general of the army.\n\n4 stars is usually the highest rank attained in the US military.  a 5 rank of 5 stars takes a special act.  I believe Gen. Dwight Eisenhower was the last 5 star general in the US army.  (there was some talk in the 1990's of giving Gen. Colin Powell and Gen. Norman Swartzkoff a fifth star - it hasn't happened though it still could, even post-retirement)\n\nGenerals are promoted by special appointment.\n\nUsually an officer is well advanced in his/her career before obtaining the rank of General\n\nBY THE WAY:\nHere's a trivia for you\n\nThe youngest general ever in US military history was Gen. George Armstrong Custer.  He was a brigadeer general at age 23.  It is no longer possible to advance that high at such a young age.

Stripes and blocks are used so they can be seen.  A flag is a signal, not a picture, and it has to be seen miles away.

go here-http://www.csu.edu.au/australia/flag.html\n\nThe present Australian flag can be considered to consist of three main elements:\n\n\n The Union Jack in the upper hoist quadrant or first quarter (also know as the Canton), denoting Australia's historical links with Great Britain. The Union Jack itself is composed of red and white intersecting and overlayed vertical and diagonal crosses on a blue background,\n\n The Southern Cross in the second quarter (also known as the top or head) and fourth quarter. Consists of five stars in a more or less kite-like pattern - Alpha Crucis (7-point), Beta Crucis (7-point), Gamma Crucis (7-point), Delta Crucis (7-point) and the smaller Epsilon Crucis (5-point). The outer diameter of each of the 4 major stars is 1/7 the width of the fly and the inner diamter is 4/9 outer diamete; the diameter of Epsilon Crucis is 1/12 the width of the fly and the inner diameter is 4/9 the outer diameter. The constellation of the Southern Cross is a significant navigational feature of the southern hemisphere, strongly places Australia geographically and has been associated with the continet since its earliest days, \n The Commonwealth Star or Star of Federation, central in the third quarter or lower hoist, has seven points to denote the six states and the combined territories of the Commonwealth. The seventh point was added in 1909. The outer diameter is 3/5 the width of the Union Jack (3/10 the width of the fly) and the inner diameter is 4/9 the outer diameter.

OK it is very simple. when a flag is raised on a vehicle or a ship and that ship or vehicles is going into battle the flag waves. thus the stars lead the way. so the flag is sown on the uniforms the same way so that when the troops go into battle the stars lead the way as if it was waving in the wind. also when the Calvary carried the flags into battle on horseback the stars lead the way. that is the reason and not some stupid teenage immature answer

I agree.  But most places say 12 million or so illegals.\n\nDavine: The flag represents a lot including the lives of everyone who fought and died for this country.  That's why it's not just a piece of cloth.  It means something important and I think most people feel the same way.

The Flag of the People's Republic of China, the "Five-Starred Red Flag (五星红旗 in pinyin: wǔ xīng hóng qí)", was designed by Zeng Liansong, an economist by trade and a talented artist who lived in Ruian (瑞安 ruì ān), Zhejiang. He designed it in response to a circular distributed by the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) in July 1949, shortly after they came to power. Out of some 3,000 plus entries received for the design competition, Zeng's was chosen after being nominated as one of the 38 finalists. Mao Zedong hoisted the first flag on a pole overlooking Tiananmen Square on the day of its unveiling.\n\nThe design uses red as its background (symbolizing the blood of the soldiers who were lost in wars) and bright yellow for its stars. The larger star symbolizes the leadership of the Communist Party of China. The four small stars represent the four classes: the workers, the peasants, the petty bourgeoisie, and patriotic capitalists [citation needed] (Alternate: four "revolutionary" classes of Chinese society: worker, farmer, student, and soldier)[citation needed]. The design went through several changes and was finally approved by the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference on September 27, 1949 at their First Plenary Session. The original design plans contained several alterations in comparison with the modern-day flag.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China
