Exactly ! In a democratic system, soldiers get their position by their
ability. Perhaps this is one major flaw of the story. The author must
have forgotten about this resulting in the seeming incompetence of the
Alliance Admirals and Vice-admirals. It could have been that the
author meant the Alliance Admirals are competent but the Empire
Admirals are geniuses .....
