Dad was pretty high ranking dude. Can't give it away but I didn't pay my taxes for a few years, knocked up this stripper, and got busted on a gun charge and was able to skate scott free
Is this a movie plot line?
I'm pretty sure me and my brothers - sisters came later - never got away with shite.

My great-great-great-great-great uncle was Rutherford B. Hayes.
I have a great-uncle who became a brigadier general in the Air Force.

E-9 is arguably more impressive than any O-rank below full bird colonel.

Great, great, great, great grandpa was a very honored colonel in the Revolutionary War.
My grandfather was a colonel and led an artillery battalion into Berlin.
I stayed enlisted. Did my thing.

CiC isn’t a military rank. It is a civilian position.
General of the Armies is the highest US military rank, and Pershing is the only person who held that title in his lifetime. So if you aren’t related to him, then you aren’t related to the person who achieved the highest rank in the military. Arguments could be made for Washington and Grant.
Edit: and maybe Dewey

Grandfather's youngest cousin only got to 1LT, but won the MOH in Vietnam and has part of the 210 loop around LC named after him. So kinda neat

Retired as a colonel in 2021.
Proves the Army has low standards.
Or a sense of humor.

I was talking with a guy who grows bud, his father and his grandfather both achieved the rank of Colonel.
He dropped the ball pretty badly
