Being competent at your job has sadly never been the only point for being retained in the military.
There are some people who are technical masters at their job, but aren't great leaders. In the US Army and US Marines, that's almost always a career killer.
(Great leader as defined by some vague and unknowable list of requirements in peace time. Even more vague in a shooting war)
