What stars and stripes may indicate (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ranks

(Other definitions for ranks that I've seen before include "Lines or rows of people or things" , "Rows (of soldiers)" , "Grades, in armed forces say" , "Classifies" , "Series of soldiers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
