In their defense, they had no idea that one guy had a mindworm queen inside him.

I dunno.
How do we select politicians? Maybe they do something similar?
replies:
No one that would do that job well wants the role.

Maybe the way they deal with bad captains is to "kick them upstairs" to admiral
replies:
Stupid question: What admirals are we talking about here?
Here are the admirals I remember from 90s trek
- Janeway, who got the job because she was hyper competent at killing Borg.
- Picard, who we can assume is generally good at his job
- That dude who was a dick to Riker, who ended up being really good at his job
- Ross, who was generally good at his job, even if Section 31 kinda did whatever they wanted
- That admiral who showed up and told Picard he was an idiot for not using Hugh to kill the Borg
- Those admirals that were all secretly alien worms or something
- Tom Paris's dad, who was just kinda there
- The lady running the inquisition, who clearly got the role in no small part due to her father
- That other admiral who ended the inquisition trials after he saw what I shitshow the entire thing was.
In general they seemed pretty good at their job.

We'll have to ask admiral Patrick if he thinks the cream rises to the top.
