* Admiral [[Honor Harrington]]. Actually a fair number of Admirals in the Honorverse.
**In the Honorverse someone has to command fleets at the sharp point even if the bureaucracy is way back at [[Mission Control]]. It is not just an affectation that there is no room for "chateau generalship" in the Royal Manticoran Navy.
* Patrick McLanahan from the books of [[Dale Brown]]. Various other characters get promoted to stars without much loss in badassery too. To be honest, though, while he is still a good bomber crew member and [[Powered Armor|Tin Man]] user if needs must, he now spends more time as [[Mission Control]] and fighting off politicians or other generals so that the lower ranks can do their job.
* ''[[Discworld]]'''s Sam Vimes, Commander of the City Watch and one of the wealthiest if not the wealthiest man in the city (by marriage) by the end of ''[[Discworld/Men At Arms|Men At Arms]]'', His Grace, the Duke of Ankh by the end of ''[[Discworld/Jingo|Jingo]]'', and still giving the criminal element a [[Groin Attack|good kick in the nadgers]] when he isn't fighting off quasi-demonic forces, foiling dastardly political conspiracies, [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|or reading to his son, Sam Vimes Jr.]]
