Hell, he wasn't even sure if the Admiral had gotten his position right in the first place. He felt like he should have been an inmate. You didn't - you don't - kill that many people and get a free pass. Not unless whatever higher authority assigning out positions is either capricious or utterly arbitrary.
He let the word hang in the air for a few moments before adding,] "But apparently the Admiral does."
