 Battlestar Galactica Ensign Ro (Michelle Forbes) plays Admiral Cain! Message Board
And Cain did appear to be much too young to hold the post of Admiral; I'm surprised Ron Moore didn't show her past, with Cain rising rapidly up in rank thanks to some "closed-door negotiations" with other fleet commanders.
But--if Admiral Cain was not such a tyrannical commander--the Colonial Fleet would be well served by having two such different battlestar commanders protecting them.
In this situation, I think that two opposing command (and tactical) views would be a benefit for the fleet, because both Adamas were always concerned for the well-being of the civilian ships first before all else, while both Cains felt more at ease attacking the Cylons head-on and blowing them to bits.
