Actually i have to correct you there Legion. It is true that you don't always get promoted based on how liked you are, but promotions still aren't always based on merit. Often a guy with the right family will get a position, other times it is about how well your direct superior likes you. Some commanders sadly prefer yesmen than good soldiers. However I will say that in this respect Commissars are a different breed. Their job necessitates them being tough, brave and ruthless.
