There are currently 40 active duty officers of 4 star rank (generals & admirals) in U.S. Forces. There appear to be well over 200 living retired 4 star generals.
There were only four five-star fleet admirals in Naval history. William D. Leahy was promoted in December 15, 1944. Ernest J. King was promoted on December 17, 1944. Chester W. Nimitz was recruited on December 19, 1944. William F. Halsey, Jr. was promoted on December 11, 1945.
there are exactly 1 million currently This is completely incorrect. There are only about 1.4 million personnel TOTAL in the armed forces. There are about 300 officers who have attained the rank of GENERAL. there are exactly 1 million currently There are 39 active military four star rank officers in US military. These positions are restricted by law. The most out of place four star officer is actually in the Public Health Service. The rest are in the actual military, to include the Coast Guard.
A one star Admiral is actually called a Commodore. During peace time there are no commodores. The Navy goes from Captain to Rear Admiral with two stars.

There are no generals in the Navy. The navy has admirals. The full compliment of officers varies with promotions and retirements.
In the United States Navy, there are four-star admirals who hold the rank of admiral. Other admirals include vice admirals (three stars) and rear admirals (two stars), further divided into upper half and lower half ranks. The rank structure may vary in other navies.
The US Navy currently does not have a one star admiral. The equivalent would be a Rear Admiral, Lower Half with two stars. The pay would vary based on years in service and can be found on any military pay chart.
Currently, there are 57 active-duty women serving as generals or admirals, five of whom are lieutenant generals or vice admirals, the Navy's three-star rank, according to the Pentagon. CNN Report, June 23, 2008
Both the United States Navy and the United States Coast Guard have the rank of admiral. This is a four star flag ranking and puts admirals on a lateral scale with those of generals in the army and marines. Technically, there is a five star admiral ranking, but this rank is reserved for wartime use only.
Admiral is one of the highest ranks a person can achieve while in the Navy. Think of them as the equivalent of a general, but the naval version. Did you know that The United States has a limit on how many active four-star admirals there can be at a time?
If you are referring to the rank of "Fleet Admiral of the United States Navy", which is the equivalent of a 5-star general, then there have been only 4 in the history of the US Navy (many more in other country's navies):Chester NimitzWilliam LeahyErnest KingWilliam HalseyGeorge Dewey was promoted to "Admiral of the Navy" in 1903 (in recognition of his service in the Spanish-American War), which technically out-ranks the "Admiral of the Fleet", but it is a historical anomaly.See the link below for more information.
Not very many, although we can't really be sure. According to federal law, there can only be 302 general officers on active duty in the Army. Of them, 49 may have three or four stars, and 253 may have one or two stars.
Note that in the history of the U.S. Navy, there have only been 2 SEAL's to achieve the rank of 4-star Admiral. The first SEAL to achieve 4-star rank was former Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) Commanding Officer Admiral (SEAL) Eric Olsen; the other one is the current (2013) USSOCOM CO Admiral (SEAL) William McRaven.Also, there are restrictions by law on how many Admirals the Navy can of 4-star rank at any given time, and there have only been just over 200 4-star Admirals in U.S. Navy history.The easiest thing to do would be to confront him with those facts, but the best course of action realistically is to have him outed by real SEAL's, either active or retired. Former Navy SEAL's Don Shipley and Steve Robinson are such SEAL imposter hunters, and they've outed quite a few over the years. Once an impostor is outed and in the database, they're scamming activities drop significantly.Shipley runs ExtremeSealExperience - his Twitter page link is listed below, and his contact number is at the ESE site. Your best option is to contact him and get him involved.
