I dunno about that analogy, did Audie Murphy rise to the rank of General, only to have a messy, public dispute with the government over international policy, eventually quitting the army over it? and then come back a decade later requesting a platoon so he could go on what sounds like a wild ass conspiracy goose chase?
Picard mentions that he and Clancy have butted heads in the past, so there's already a personal history there. it's frosty as hell the moment he walks in, and she's not impressed with his latest TV appearance, so emotions are already...engaged.
