Here are ten terrible Admirals that Starfleet must have been mad to promote…

This article comes fromDen of Geek UK.

Suggested disciplinary measures:Hes a bit odd, but hasnt done anything to deserve demotion.

Haftel is convinced Starfleet have a right to take her/it away from him.

Either way, Haftel is clearly in the wrong here.

Other bad behavior:Hes really mean about it, too.

Suggested disciplinary measures:Someone needs to take away his favorite toy and/or first-born child.

Suggested disciplinary measures:Enforced retirement is probably the answer here.

Presumed reason for promotion:He probably intimidated his superiors into doing it.

Hes a scary man.

He also yells at Riker, which is clearly a mistake.

No one gets away with yelling at Riker.

Suggested disciplinary measures:Definitely time for a dishonorable discharge.

Send him to some remote island, maybe, to think about his mistakes.

Throw in a polar bear.

Presumed reason for promotion:His beard.

He has a Great Admirally Beard of Admiralness.

Other bad behavior:That pretty much covers it.

He didnt know about the estranged families/revenge aspect of the plot and eventually objected, but too late.

He just wanted access to the fountain of youth stuff.

As reasons for insurrection go, its a pretty pathetic one.

Dishonorable discharge would have been quite sufficient.

So that probably helped.

He really should have told his wife what was up, though.

Considering he was trying to prolong his life, this poetic justice is probably enough.

Other bad behavior:While its true that Kirk violated the Prime Directive (who hasnt?

He also falsified a blood test to make it appear that Captain Sisko was a Changeling.

Other bad behavior:He has a McCarthy-like zeal for identifying and punishing Changelings.

You cant resign after attempting a military coup.

At the very least, you should be dishonorably discharged.

Presumed reason for promotion:He seems pretty competent as an Admiral inStar Trek IV.

Plus, his distinct similarity to Siskos dad suggests a long family line of loyal service.

Ironically, the conspirators showed a great skill for working together, despite their political differences.

Suggested disciplinary measures:Presidential assassination is a pretty serious crime.

A life sentence in Klingon Siberia would seem appropriate.
