Does anyone remember the name of Parmenter's family names given during his medal cermoney in the pilot? All I can remember is they all have Greek God mythology names and his father was General Thor Parmenter. I think the pilot was still the funniest episode of the entire hilarious show.
"We're paratroopers lieutenant. We're supposed to be surrounded"
Capt Dick Winters, Bastogne 1944
Members of the Parmenter family assembled to observe the ceremonies honoring Wilton Parmenter: Wilton's first cousin, Major Achilles Parmenter; his second cousin, Lieutenant Colonel Hercules Parmenter; his uncle, Colonel Jupiter Parmenter-- and his father, General Thor X. Parmenter*.
Heroes, all.

* But in one episode, Wilton refers to his father as "Horatio Parmenter". Also, I'm guessing that the "X" stands for "Xerxes" though I don't think that's ever stated.
F-Troop was lucky that Wilton's relatives weren't put in charge.
