"It has been observed that within the Federation, many ambassadors are former Starfleet admirals. (TNG: "Unification I", "All Good Things...")"
Of all the Federation ambassadors listed, only 5 served in Starfleet before and only 2 (Picard and Archer) as admirals. I think this statement has little basis in facts. Kennelly 16:07, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
