"Sometimes I suspect that everyone under the age of 50 or so thinks
they need to get a promotion every few years in order to think of
themselves as successful just because the characters on Star Trek
all did."
It was noticeable that in the early series, pretty much every StarFleet
admiral was either corrupt, insane or a traitor. They only seemed to
ease off this unusual hiring policy once Kirk, Scotty, et al reached
pensionable age.
