typically the highest rank is a General (aka 4 star General), but in some cases one officer is promoted to General of the Army (5 star General) and in extremely rare cases (only twice in US history) a General can attain the rank of General of the Armies, which is senior to all officer ranks past and present.

What type of responsibility are voting and serving in the military?

Voting and serving in the military are part of being a responsible citizen. While some may disagree, saying that both voting and military service are individual decisions, it should be noted that both the right to vote and the option to serve or not was hard-earned by the blood and sacrifice of Americans dating back to the Militiamen's defeat of the British in 1775. On a historical note, ancient Athens, known as the 'birthplace of democracy', required military service as a prerequisite to earn the right to vote.
